yar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha

yar ko hum ne ja-ba-ja dekha
kahin zahir kahin chhupa dekha
kahin mumkin hua kahin wajib
kahin fani kahin baqa dekha


did apne ki thi use khwahish
aap ko har tarah bana dekha
surat-e-gul mein khil-khila ke hansa
shakl-e-bulbul mein chahchaha dekha


shama ho kar ke aur parwana
aap ko aap mein jala dekha
kar ke dawa kahin anal-haq ka
bar-sar-e-dar wo khincha dekha


tha wo bartar shuma-o-ma se niyaz
phir wahi ab shuma-o-ma dekha
kahin hai baadshah-e-takht-nashin
kahin kasa liye gada dekha


kahin aabid bana kahin zahid
kahin rindon ka peshwa dekha
kahin wo dar-libas-e-mashuqan
bar-sar-e-naz aur ada dekha


kahin aashiq 'niyaz' ki surat
sina-biryan o dil-jala dekha
