chhā.ī hai qayāmat kī ghaTā dekhiye kyā ho
barse to barasne kī adā dekhiye kyā ho
khul khul ke sabhī phuul to masrūr haiñ lekin
masmūm hai gulshan kī fazā dekhiye kyā ho
phir josh meñ haiñ aaj mire madd-e-muqābil
hai merī vafā un kī jafā dekhiye kyā ho
sar joḌ ke baiThe haiñ sabhī sulh kī ḳhātir
haiñ un ke ḳhayālāt judā dekhiye kyā ho
tūfān havādis meñ jalāne to chalā huuñ
ik mehr-o-uḳhuvvat kā diyā dekhiye kyā hū
haq baat bhī arbāb-e-adālat ko khalī hai
iz.hār-e-haqīqat kī sazā dekhiye kyā ho
sahrā-e-tajassus meñ talāsh apnī hai 'kausar'
kuchh yaad nahiñ apnā patā dekhiye kyā ho
