itne zamane bhar ke sitam dekhte rahe
phir bhi khuda ka sab pe karam dekhte rahe

ghar ko hamare samne luta gaya magar
murat bane khade hue hum dekhte rahe

mitti ka ek khilauna jo bachche se gir gaya
tab se hum us ki aankhon ko nam dekhte rahe

dekha na hoga chand kisi ne qarib se
tha ru-ba-ru khuda ki qasam dekhte rahe

ab tak kisi bhi chehre pe thahri nahin nazar
'irfan' kya tha tujh mein jo hum dekhte rahe
