teri zulf ke pech-o-kham dekhte hain
hamin jaante hain jo hum dekhte hain

ye haalat hui hai junun mein hamari
khushi dekhte hain na gham dekhte hain

bahut dekh li hai zamane ki gardish
muqaddar ka ab zer-o-bam dekhte hain

tasawwur mein hain jin ke jalwe tumhaare
wo husn-e-do-alam ko kam dekhte hain

jhagadte hain shaikh-o-barahman magar hum
tamasha-e-dair-o-haram dekhte hain

sar-e-bazm hai ehtiyat aaj aisi
na tum dekhte ho na hum dekhte hain

kisi chashm-e-maigun mein hum aaj 'rifat'
chhalakte hue jam-e-jam dekhte hain
