makan chhod kar la-makan dekhte hain
kahan wo hain aur hum kahan dekhte hain

tayyun ka har aastan dekhte hain
jahan tum nahin hum wahan dekhte hain

utha lete hain hum bhi do-chaar tinke
jo bante koi aashiyan dekhte hain

qafas mein asiron pe girti hai bijli
chaman se jo uthte dhuan dekhte hain

nahin dekhte kuchh magar ahl-e-mahshar
mujhe ya meri dastan dekhte hain

haqiqat mein dair-o-haram ek hain jab
tujhe donon ke darmiyan dekhte hain

ye aahen hain meri ye nale hain mere
jinhen aasman aasman dekhte hain

dar-e-yar hai phir dar-e-yar 'afqar'
jinan ko ba-hadd-e-jinan dekhte hain
