kabhi numayan kabhi tah-nashin bhi rahte hain
kabhī numāyāñ kabhī tah-nashīñ bhī rahte haiñ
yahīñ pe rahte haiñ ham aur nahīñ bhī rahte haiñ
bhaTaktī nazroñ meñ haiñ murtakiz nigāheñ bhī
gumāñ-kadoñ meñ kuchh ahl-e-yaqīñ bhī rahte haiñ
agarche ham ko muqaddam hai rāh-e-ḳhidmat-e-ḳhalq
jo baaz aa.e to apne ta.iiñ bhī rahte haiñ
bajā shavāhid o mantiq qubūl bahs o dalīl
pa ham ḳhatā-e-nazar ke qarīñ bhī rahte haiñ
hijāb fikr-o-nazar ke uThā ke dekho to
hamāre fan meñ ka.ī nāznīñ bhī rahte haiñ
shabāhateñ sī ġhubār-e-had-e-nigāh meñ haiñ
pas-e-falak kahīñ ahl-e-zamīñ bhī rahte haiñ
tum apne Thor-Thikānoñ ko yaad rakkho 'sāz'
hamārā kyā hai ki ham to kahīñ bhī rahte haiñ
kabhi numayan kabhi tah-nashin bhi rahte hain
yahin pe rahte hain hum aur nahin bhi rahte hain
bhaTakti nazron mein hain murtakiz nigahen bhi
guman-kadon mein kuchh ahl-e-yaqin bhi rahte hain
agarche hum ko muqaddam hai rah-e-KHidmat-e-KHalq
jo baz aae to apne tain bhi rahte hain
baja shawahid o mantiq qubul bahs o dalil
pa hum KHata-e-nazar ke qarin bhi rahte hain
hijab fikr-o-nazar ke uTha ke dekho to
hamare fan mein kai naznin bhi rahte hain
shabahaten si ghubar-e-had-e-nigah mein hain
pas-e-falak kahin ahl-e-zamin bhi rahte hain
tum apne Thor-Thikanon ko yaad rakkho 'saz'
hamara kya hai ki hum to kahin bhi rahte hain
