jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
means
āñkhoñ ko dekhne kā salīqa jab aa gayā
kitne naqāb chehra-e-asrār se uThe
aankhon ko dekhne ka saliqa jab aa gaya
kitne naqab chehra-e-asrar se uThe
from the Ghazal "fitne ajab tarah ke saman-zar se uThe" by Akbar Hyderabadi

samajhtā huuñ maiñ sab kuchh sirf samjhānā nahīñ aatā
taḌaptā huuñ magar auroñ ko taḌpānā nahīñ aatā
samajhta hun main sab kuchh sirf samjhana nahin aata
taDapta hun magar auron ko taDpana nahin aata
