tamasha-e-dair-o-haram dekhte hain
tamāshā-e-dair-o-haram dekhte haiñ
tujhe har bahāne se ham dekhte haiñ
hamārī taraf ab vo kam dekhte haiñ
vo nazreñ nahīñ jin ko ham dekhte haiñ
zamāne ke kyā kyā sitam dekhte haiñ
hamīñ jānte haiñ jo ham dekhte haiñ
phire but-kade se to ai ahl-e-ka.aba
phir aa kar tumhāre qadam dekhte haiñ
hameñ chashm-e-bīnā dikhātī hai sab kuchh
vo andhe haiñ jo jām-e-jam dekhte haiñ
na īmā-e-ḳhvāhish na iz.hār-e-matlab
mire muñh ko ahl-e-karam dekhte haiñ
kabhī toḌte haiñ vo ḳhanjar ko apne
kabhī nabz-e-bismil meñ dam dekhte haiñ
ġhanīmat hai chashm-e-taġhāful bhī un kī
bahut dekhte haiñ jo kam dekhte haiñ
ġharaz kyā ki samjheñ mire ḳhat kā mazmūñ
vo unvān o tarz-e-raqam dekhte haiñ
salāmat rahe dil burā hai ki achchhā
hazāroñ meñ ye ek dam dekhte haiñ
rahā kaun mahfil meñ ab aane vaalā
vo chāroñ taraf dam-ba-dam dekhte haiñ
udhar sharm haa.il idhar ḳhauf maane
na vo dekhte haiñ na ham dekhte haiñ
unheñ kyuuñ na ho dilrubā.ī se nafrat
ki har dil meñ vo ġham alam dekhte haiñ
nigahbāñ se bhī kyā huī bad-gumānī
ab us ko tire saath kam dekhte haiñ
hameñ 'dāġh' kyā kam hai ye sarfarāzī
ki shāh-e-dakan ke qadam dekhte haiñ
tamasha-e-dair-o-haram dekhte hain
tujhe har bahane se hum dekhte hain
hamari taraf ab wo kam dekhte hain
wo nazren nahin jin ko hum dekhte hain
zamane ke kya kya sitam dekhte hain
hamin jaante hain jo hum dekhte hain
phire but-kade se to ai ahl-e-kaba
phir aa kar tumhaare qadam dekhte hain
hamein chashm-e-bina dikhati hai sab kuchh
wo andhe hain jo jam-e-jam dekhte hain
na ima-e-KHwahish na izhaar-e-matlab
mere munh ko ahl-e-karam dekhte hain
kabhi toDte hain wo KHanjar ko apne
kabhi nabz-e-bismil mein dam dekhte hain
ghanimat hai chashm-e-taghaful bhi un ki
bahut dekhte hain jo kam dekhte hain
gharaz kya ki samjhen mere KHat ka mazmun
wo unwan o tarz-e-raqam dekhte hain
salamat rahe dil bura hai ki achchha
hazaron mein ye ek dam dekhte hain
raha kaun mahfil mein ab aane wala
wo chaaron taraf dam-ba-dam dekhte hain
udhar sharm hail idhar KHauf mane
na wo dekhte hain na hum dekhte hain
unhen kyun na ho dilrubai se nafrat
ki har dil mein wo gham alam dekhte hain
nigahban se bhi kya hui bad-gumani
ab us ko tere sath kam dekhte hain
hamein 'dagh' kya kam hai ye sarfaraazi
ki shah-e-dakan ke qadam dekhte hain
