hum doston ke lutf-o-karam dekhte rahe
hote rahe jo dil pe sitam dekhte rahe

khamosh qahqahon mein bhi gham dekhte rahe
duniya na dekh pai jo hum dekhte rahe

allah-re josh-e-ishq ki uthti jidhar nazar
tum ko hi bas khuda ki qasam dekhte rahe

nagah pad gai jo kahin un pe ek nazar
ta-der apne aap ko hum dekhte rahe

hum ne to badh ke chum liya aastan-e-yar
hasrat se hum ko dair o haram dekhte rahe

jo sath mere chal na sake rah-e-shauq mein
wo sirf mere naqsh-e-qadam dekhte rahe

barson ke baad un se mile bhi to is tarah
pahron wo hum ko aur unhen hum dekhte rahe

har sham ek khwab-e-sahar mein guzar di
har subh ek sham-e-alam dekhte rahe

chalte hi daur-e-jam jo ahl-e-nigah the
kis kis ki aastin thi nam dekhte rahe

sab kuchh wahi tha phir bhi gulistan mein aaj hum
kya shai thi ho gai hai jo kam dekhte rahe

basti mein log aise bhi hain kuchh base hue
aaya jidhar se tir-e-sitam dekhte rahe

aae the apne chahne walon ko dekhne
kitna hai kis mariz mein dam dekhte rahe
