kya na dekha ye kaho ye na kaho kya dekha

kyā na dekhā ye kaho ye na kaho kyā dekhā

ham ne jo kuchh bhī kisī bazm meñ dekhā dekhā

dekhne ko sar-e-mahfil ruḳh-e-zebā dekhā

ham ko jo kuchh tirī āñkhoñ ne dikhāyā dekhā

vo bahāreñ ki tire saath mujhe dekh ga.iiñ

kyā kaheñgī agar aa kar mujhe tanhā dekhā

husn-e-ḳhud-bīñ ko hai kyā ‘ishq-e-kHudā-bīñ se gurez

merī āñkhoñ se bhī apnā ruḳh-e-zebā dekhā

sab se mil kar bhī kam-āmez hai tamkīn-e-jamāl

tujh ko dekhā to bharī bazm meñ tanhā dekhā

nukta-chīñ dīda-e-zāhir hai mirī āñkhoñ par

ham ne ā.īna na dekhā ruḳh-e-zebā dekhā

chāñdnī chāñd sī sūrat kī ghanī zulf kī chhāñv

phir añdherā nazar aayā na ujālā dekhā

us ko apnā koī samjhā hai na samjhegā 'zahīn'

jis ko begāngī-e-hosh meñ apnā dekhā

kya na dekha ye kaho ye na kaho kya dekha

hum ne jo kuchh bhi kisi bazm mein dekha dekha

dekhne ko sar-e-mahfil ruKH-e-zeba dekha

hum ko jo kuchh teri aankhon ne dikhaya dekha

wo bahaaren ki tere sath mujhe dekh gain

kya kahengi agar aa kar mujhe tanha dekha

husn-e-KHud-bin ko hai kya ‘ishq-e-kHuda-bin se gurez

meri aankhon se bhi apna ruKH-e-zeba dekha

sab se mil kar bhi kam-amez hai tamkin-e-jamal

tujh ko dekha to bhari bazm mein tanha dekha

nukta-chin dida-e-zahir hai meri aankhon par

hum ne aaina na dekha ruKH-e-zeba dekha

chandni chand si surat ki ghani zulf ki chhanw

phir andhera nazar aaya na ujala dekha

us ko apna koi samjha hai na samjhega 'zahin'

jis ko begangi-e-hosh mein apna dekha
