ranj-e-duniya ho ki ranj-e-ashiqi kya dekhna
sari khushiyan hairaten sab ek si kya dekhna

bagh bazar-e-tamasha aankh juya-e-bahaar
chashm-e-nargis ya tan-e-sarw-e-sahi kya dekhna

dekhna kya ek hi shai su-e-baatin dekhiye
be-hisi be-chehragi be-manzari kya dekhna

saz mein baala-e-naghma aur aawazen bhi hain
ek sharar-e-naghmagi aawaz ki kya dekhna

rah-e-sahra hai na aati hai kahin fasl-e-bahaar
ishq mein diwangi jama-dari kya dekhna

mushkilon mein kaam aa jati hai aashufta-sari
ai junun-saman-e-kar-e-agahi kya dekhna

jab use dekha to ji chaha ki dekha hi karun
sochta ye tha ki naz-e-dilbari kya dekhna
