binai se bahar kabhi andar mujhe dekhe
mumkin hi nahin hai vo barabar mujhe dekhe
ho jaae kabhi raat mire dam se bhi raushan
vo shama-e-tamasha jo ghadi-bhar mujhe dekhe
main khud men to maujud hi mushkil se rahunga
har dekhne vaala mire bahar mujhe dekhe
dhunde koi mujh ko to isi khak-e-havas men
ya silsila-e-sail-e-hava par mujhe dekhe
mahaul hi kuchh ho chaman-e-khvab ka aisa
bulbul mujhe samjhe to gul-e-tar mujhe dekhe
ab dekhna hi shart ye thahri hai ki yuun ho
main manzar-e-nayab ko manzar mujhe dekhe
dariya ki pazirai men shak to nahin lekin
ik lahar ho aisi bhi ki uth kar mujhe dekhe
main baar digar hi kahin aata huun samajh men
jo dekhna chahe so mukarrar mujhe dekhe
mera nazar aana hai ‘zafar’ baat hi kuchh aur
jo dekh nahin sakta vo aksar mujhe dekhe
