dekhta rahta hun aksar sham-e-qudrat dekh kar
dekhtā rahtā huuñ aksar shām-e-qudrat dekh kar
ḳhūb-sūrat dekhtā huuñ ḳhūb-sūrat dekh kar
merī niyyat dekh kar merī tabī.at dekh kar
ruk gayā rañg-e-majāz apnī haqīqat dekh kar
nāz-bardārī kī ujrat koī Thahrātā nahīñ
dene vaale de diyā karte haiñ mehnat dekh kar
naaz bhī tum ko milā andāz bhī tum ko mile
kyā buto allāh bhī detā hai sūrat dekh kar
shādmānī dekhne vaalo hameñ bhī dekh lo
ḳhush hue the ham bhī sāmān-e-masarrat dekh kar
khelne ko jaan par kaafī hai jism-e-zār bhī
tum mujhe kyā dekhte ho merī himmat dekh kar
kis kī bū pā kar chaman meñ chaar din Thahrī bahār
ram ga.ī phūloñ meñ bū kis kī shabāhat dekh kar
kuchh nahīñ achchhā to duniyā meñ burā bhī kuchh nahīñ
kījiye sab kuchh magar apnī zarūrat dekh kar
dekhta rahta hun aksar sham-e-qudrat dekh kar
KHub-surat dekhta hun KHub-surat dekh kar
meri niyyat dekh kar meri tabiat dekh kar
ruk gaya rang-e-majaz apni haqiqat dekh kar
naz-bardari ki ujrat koi Thahraata nahin
dene wale de diya karte hain mehnat dekh kar
naz bhi tum ko mila andaz bhi tum ko mile
kya buto allah bhi deta hai surat dekh kar
shadmani dekhne walo hamein bhi dekh lo
KHush hue the hum bhi saman-e-masarrat dekh kar
khelne ko jaan par kafi hai jism-e-zar bhi
tum mujhe kya dekhte ho meri himmat dekh kar
kis ki bu pa kar chaman mein chaar din Thahri bahaar
ram gai phulon mein bu kis ki shabahat dekh kar
kuchh nahin achchha to duniya mein bura bhi kuchh nahin
kijiye sab kuchh magar apni zarurat dekh kar
