tap-e-alam ko jigar mein chhupa ke dekhte hain
hum aag apne hi ghar ko laga ke dekhte hain

khuda ko dekhte hain yun hum us ki surat mein
ki goya samne apne bitha ke dekhte hain

wo bole dekh ke shishe mein apni surat ko
shabih-e-hazrat-e-yusuf manga ke dekhte hain

chura liya mere pahlu se dil jinhon ne mera
ab un ko dekho wo aankhen chura ke dekhte hain

na puchh kucha-e-jaanan ki rahguzar 'nayab'
hanuz jazba-e-dil aazma ke dekhte hain
