hum kisi paikar-e-marmar ki taraf kya dekhen
aaina dekh ke patthar ki taraf kya dekhen

dekhna hai to kabhi dub ke dekhenge use
is bulandi se samundar ki taraf kya dekhen

samne jo hai wo manzar nahin dekha jata
sar pe latke hue khanjar ki taraf kya dekhen

band kamre mein ghutan hai magar uljhan to nahin
khidkiyan khol ke bahar ki taraf kya dekhen

hum ko malum hai har lamha-e-hasti ka hisab
uth ke har subh calendar ki taraf kya dekhen
