jahan tera naqsh-e-qadam dekhte hain
khayaban khayaban iram dekhte hain

dil-ashuftagan khal-e-kunj-e-dahan ke
suwaida mein sair-e-adam dekhte hain

tere sarw-qamat se ek qadd-e-adam
qayamat ke fitne ko kam dekhte hain

tamasha ki ai mahw-e-aina-dari
tujhe kis tamanna se hum dekhte hain

suragh-e-taf-e-nala le dagh-e-dil se
ki shab-rau ka naqsh-e-qadam dekhte hain

bana kar faqiron ka hum bhes 'ghaalib'
tamasha-e-ahl-e-karam dekhte hain

kisu ko za-khud rasta kam dekhte hain
ki aahu ko paband-e-ram dekhte hain

khat-e-lakht-e-dil yak-qalam dekhte hain
mizha ko jawahar raqam dekhte hain
