haram-o-dair mein hum ne ye tamasha dekha
yani har ghar mein usi yaad ka jalwa dekha

ek tumhein chahne wale nahin ai shaikh-e-haram
barhaman ko bhi usi shokh ka shaida dekha

ku-ba-ku chaak-gareban jo phira karte ho
dil lagane ka zamane mein natija dekha

na tabiat kabhi badli na nigahen un ki
hum ne har roz zamane ko badalta dekha

kis liye aaj pareshan hua jata hai tu
kya mera zakhm-e-jigar tu ne masiha dekha

tab-e-nazara na thi jab to gae kyon musa
aap ne had se guzarne ka natija dekha

suniye suniye ki huin hain meri makhmur aankhen
aap ke sar ki qasam aap ka jalwa dekha

wah kya khub wo naraaz hue ruth gae
mera chehra jo dam-e-arz-e-tamanna dekha

hum to maqtal mein jigar tham ke tadpe lekin
tum ne kis tarah se bismil ka tadapna dekha

josh-e-wahshat mujhe sahra ki taraf le aaya
aur aage jo badhe daman-e-dariya dekha

shokh dil shokh tabiat ka hai insan 'sanjar'
is ko har-waqt hasinon hi pe shaida dekha
