sukhe hue darakht ke patton ko dekhna
phir chehra-e-hatyat ke zakhmon ko dekhna

khush-rangi-e-hayat ka paoge aks tum
patthar uchhaal kar zara lahron ko dekhna

meri nazar mein ye bhi ibaadat khuda ki hai
shafqat bhari nigah se bachchon ko dekhna

is waste main pas hi rakhta hun aaina
mushkil hai apni aankh se jazbon ko dekhna

takhrib-e-kaenat ki zinda misal hai
sahil pe intishaar ke zakhmon ko dekhna

jakdenge ek din wahi rishton ke jal mein
ho jae dhund saf to apnon ko dekhna
