phir kisi qarya-e-hijrat se mujhe dekhta hai
ishq ab kaun si ghayat se mujhe dekhta hai

koi paigham musalsal hai meri khak ke nam
ek sitara badi muddat se mujhe dekhta hai

kis ko samjhaun shab-e-tar mein dil ki mushkil
chand bhi apni suhulat se mujhe dekhta hai

ain mumkin hai samundar ko bula lun main bhi
shahr ka shahr raunat se mujhe dekhta hai

aisi wahshat hai in aankhon mein ki ab sahra ka
jo bhi zarra hai aqidat se mujhe dekhta hai

kaisa aaina hun hairan nahin hun 'tariq'
dekhne wala bhi hairat se mujhe dekhta hai
