sho.ale bhaḌkāo dekhte kyā ho
jal uThe ghaav dekhte kyā ho
ġharq-e-ḳhūnāb hone vaalī hai
dard kī naav dekhte kyā ho
dil kisī yaad ne chhuā hogā
aage baḌh jaao dekhte kyā ho
anjum-e-charḳh-e-fikr-e-ādam kā
chal gayā daav dekhte kyā ho
piye baiThe haiñ zahr-e-daurāñ ham
jaam uThvāo dekhte kyā ho
husn se lo nazar kī bhiik 'aḳhtar'
haath phailāo dekhte kyā ho
