tasawwur mein sare jahan dekhti hun
makin dekhti hun makan dekhti hun

bhatakti phiri sare aalam mein har su
jahan main nahin hun wahan dekhti hun

chamakte sitaron mein dekha hai us ko
main jharnon mein us ko nihan dekhti hun

kabhi chand suraj ki kirnon mein dhunda
wahan rang-ba-rang kahkashan dekhti hun

kabhi us ko phulon ki khushbu mein dekha
fazaon mein us ko ayan dekhti hun

ye mausam badalte jahanon ke dekhe
main shabnam mein us ka saman dekhti hun

ba-dosh-e-saba ud ke pahunchi jahan tak
main samt-e-jahan be-karan dekhti hun

chalun phir yahan se zara aur aage
main sahil pe mauj-e-rawan dekhti hun

nazar mein junun ke hai nafrat har ek su
dilon mein main tir-o-kaman dekhti hun

na insan mein ulfat na insaniyat hai
sulagte labon par fughan dekhti hun

na paya sukun kyon 'ada' main ne aakhir
tapish apne dil ki tapan dekhti hun
