mila hai tapta sahra dekhne ko
chale the ghar se dariya dekhne ko

chalo apna hi manzar aap dekhen
kahan jaen tamasha dekhne ko

sar-e-maqtal kise laya gaya hai
chali aati hai duniya dekhne ko

fasurda phul udte zard patte
chaman mein rah gaya kya dekhne ko

mili hai mukhtasar si fursat-e-did
tamasha-gah-e-duniya dekhne ko

charagh-e-rahguzar jugnu sitara
kiran koi to rasta dekhne ko

phire hain anjuman-dar-anjuman hum
use jalwa-ba-jalwa dekhne ko
