husn ka haal ye ba-dida-e-tar dekha hai
dar-ba-dar khak-basar sham-o-sahar dekha hai

in gunahgar nigahon ne jidhar dekha hai
ek ujda hua sapnon ka nagar dekha hai

dil-e-khush-fahm ne ek khwab-e-shajar dekha hai
shomi-e-bakht ki be-barg-o-samar dekha hai

dad-khwahi ki nahin ahl-e-chaman ko taufiq
jaan dene mein asiron ne mafar dekha hai

aakhir-e-kar hua qaid-e-zamin se aazad
mah-o-anjum ne ye iqdam-e-bashar dekha hai

maslahat-kosh rafiqon se hai duri lazim
na hue waqt pe wo sina-sipar dekha hai

jaise ho ghaib se muzhda koi aane wala
main ne paiham kabhi yun jaanib-e-dar dekha hai
