hum ne duniya mein ajab tarah ke manzar dekhe
phul ki shakl mein aate hue patthar dekhe

jis ne dekha na ho maikhane ka pur-kaif saman
dast-e-saqi mein chhalakta hua saghar dekhe

wo nazar tang hai arbab-e-mohabbat ke liye
bazm-e-jaanan mein jo aa kar mah-o-akhtar dekhe

jo tasawwur mein banata hai hasin taj-mahal
pahle mitti ke gharaunde to bana kar dekhe

rind to rind hain zahid ba-khuda jhum gae
mai-kade mein jo khanakte hue saghar dekhe

faiz-e-ustad se khali nahin koi shair
yun to mahfil mein bahut ‘shair’-e-khud-sar dekhe
