duniya ko dekhiye zara aankhen to kholiye

duniyā ko dekhiye zarā āñkheñ to kholiye

sūraj chaḌhā hai sar pe baḌī der so liye

saarī masarrateñ tirī ḳhushiyoñ pe vaar diiñ

jitne bhī ġham mile tire ġham meñ samo liye

ham ko na-jāne kyā huā phūloñ ko dekh kar

hāthoñ meñ ham ne jaan ke kāñTe chubho liye

majbūriyāñ kaheñ ki ise sādgī kaheñ

jis ne bhī hañs ke baat kī ham saath ho liye

rū-e-ḳhitāb hai kisī nāzuk-mizāj se

chehre pe haal likhiye nigāhoñ se boliye

siipī khulī rahegī jo motī nikal ga.e

āñkhoñ kī sīpiyoñ se javāhar na roliye

taaza rakhā hai zehn meñ karb-e-shikastagī

jab kuchh na ban paḌā to kahīñ chhup ke ro liye

duniya ko dekhiye zara aankhen to kholiye

suraj chaDha hai sar pe baDi der so liye

sari masarraten teri KHushiyon pe war din

jitne bhi gham mile tere gham mein samo liye

hum ko na-jaane kya hua phulon ko dekh kar

hathon mein hum ne jaan ke kanTe chubho liye

majburiyan kahen ki ise sadgi kahen

jis ne bhi hans ke baat ki hum sath ho liye

ru-e-KHitab hai kisi nazuk-mizaj se

chehre pe haal likhiye nigahon se boliye

sipi khuli rahegi jo moti nikal gae

aankhon ki sipiyon se jawahar na roliye

taza rakha hai zehn mein karb-e-shikastagi

jab kuchh na ban paDa to kahin chhup ke ro liye
