kisi din to hamara dard-e-dil soz-e-jigar dekho
kabhi to bhul kar aao kabhi to puchh kar dekho

na dekho dost ban kar tum to dushman ki nazar dekho
khafa ho kar bigad kar ruth kar dekho magar dekho

nahin bharti tabiat lakh dekho umr-bhar dekho
khuda ki shan hai aise bhi hote hain bashar dekho

kisi ko jab se dekha hai dikhai kuchh nahin deta
hui meri nazar ko dosto kis ki nazar dekho

tarasti hain ye aankhen dekhne ko dil tadapta hai
ziyaada se ziyaada mukhtasar se mukhtasar dekho

muqaddar se nibhi tum ek goya bhole-bhaale the
koi zalim se zalim fitna-gar se fitna-gar dekho

kahi hain ham-nashino dil-lagi mein tum ne jo baaten
unhen sach-much pahunch jae na ye jhuti khabar dekho

phir us par nukta-chin hai nukta-dan hai shaikh logon mein
anadi padh raha hai dukht-e-raz ko dukht-e-zar dekho

koi betab koi mast koi chup koi hairan
teri mahfil mein goya ek tamasha hai jidhar dekho

tumhaari bazm baat insaniyat ki phir raqibon mein
bhare hain aadmi ki suraton ke jaanwar dekho

na ho jo banda-parwar bandagi ko bandagi us ki
janab-e-dil khuda rawaq koi aur ghar dekho

nahin az-ru-e-qanun-e-mohabbat jurm-e-nazzara
to phir kyun hain janab-e-dil agar dekho magar dekho

use dekha hai jis ke dekhne ko log marte hain
nazar bazu hamari bhi zara hadd-e-nazar dekho

safi' ko shairi se mil gai har-dil-azizi bhi
darogh-e-maslahat-amez bhi hai kya hunar dekho
