ek tamasha zat ka apni bana kar dekh lo
qissa-e-gham apne logon ko suna kar dekh lo

wo dhuan hoga ki phir be-maut mar jaenge log
ye charagh-e-ishq hai is ko bujha kar dekh lo

ek na ek din chikh ban kar samne aa jaengi
khwahishon ko aap bhi apni daba kar dekh lo

dard ke naghmat duniya mein koi sunta nahin
tum ko khwahish hai sunane ki suna kar dekh lo

sari duniya ke hasin manzar nazar mein aaenge
tum kabhi bazm-e-mohabbat mein to ja kar dekh lo

koshishen jitni karo tum bhul jaane ki magar
bhulna aasan hai kya aazma kar dekh lo

naqsh-e-awwal hun koi harf-e-ghalat to hun nahin
tum mitana chahte ho to mita kar dekh lo

dost dushman sab nazar aa jaenge 'nusrat' tumhein
wo jo dil mein hai use honton pe la kar dekh lo
