meri barbaadi ko chashm-e-mo'atabar se dekhiye
'mir' ka diwan 'ghaalib' ki nazar se dekhiye

muskura kar yun na apni rahguzar se dekhiye
jis taraf meri nazar chahe udhar se dekhiye

hain dalil-e-kam-nigahi ikhtilafat-e-nazar
zindagi ka ek hi rukh hai jidhar se dekhiye

bharte rahte hain jahannam zindagi ke chaarasaz
dushman-e-jaan hain agar gahri nazar se dekhiye

mere gham-khane ke chaaron samt hain daulat-kade
zindagi ki bhik milti hai kidhar se dekhiye

fitratan har aadmi hai talib-e-amn-o-aman
dushmanon ko bhi mohabbat ki nazar se dekhiye

bhej di taswir apni un ko ye likh kar 'shakil'
aap ki marzi hai chahe jis nazar se dekhiye
