jab amn ke aasar dekhte hain
mahaul sharar-bar dekhte hain

hai farz yahan kis pe shahryari
sab apni hi dastar dekhte hain

aaina to sab dekhte hain lekin
hum aaina-bardar dekhte hain

main mil ka patthar hun mujh ko rahraw
mud mud ke kai bar dekhte hain

jo log the badnam shahr bhar mein
wo log bhi kirdar dekhte hain

wo haar mein bhi sharmsar hai kab
hum jit mein bhi haar dekhte hain

hai khub 'sukhan' ishq-e-nek-tinat
hum ruh ko sarshaar dekhte hain
