shauq-e-didar ne kya kya na tamasha dekha
jaan-e-man kaise bataen tumhein kya kya dekha

zindagi aag hai aur aag ki khatir hum ne
dip ki aankh mein jalta hua chehra dekha

main ne lamhon mein guzari hain hazaron sadiyan
waqt ki dhup mein pighla hua dariya dekha

subh raushan ne utari hain sitari aankhen
shakh-e-shamshad ne gulshan ka daricha dekha

raaz-e-hasti mein zamin sari tasawwur nikli
aasman apne takhayyul ka sahifa dekha

dagh-e-daman ko chhupae hue phirti hai hawa
rang-o-ahang se badla hua shisha dekha

meri aankhon mein machalti hui yaaden us ki
jam-e-ulfat se chhalakta hua pyala dekha
