nazar jo aata hai bahar mein kab wo andar hun
nazar jo aatā hai bāhar meñ kab vo andar huuñ
maiñ aadmī huuñ kahāñ aadmī kā paikar huuñ
rahā jo bhiiḌ meñ bhī mushfiqoñ kī sar-afrāz
ḳhudā-gavāh meñ vaisā hī ek masdar huuñ
safīna koī salāmat na rah sakegā ab
qasam-ḳhudā-kī maiñ biphrā huā samundar huuñ
ye aur baat ki tum ko maiñ yaad aa na sakā
vagarna aaj bhī mahfil meñ har zabāñ par huuñ
thī merī zaat kabhī kā.enāt kā mehvar
hisār-e-zāt meñ lekin maiñ aaj shashdar huuñ
diloñ ke band darīche bhī jis se khul jaa.eñ
jo paḌh sako to paḌhe jaao maiñ vo mantar huuñ
jo paḌh sake na mirā chehra bhī vo ḳhud-bīñ tum
jo dard lamhoñ kā samjhe maiñ vo qalandar huuñ
nazar jo aata hai bahar mein kab wo andar hun
main aadmi hun kahan aadmi ka paikar hun
raha jo bhiD mein bhi mushfiqon ki sar-afraaz
KHuda-gawah mein waisa hi ek masdar hun
safina koi salamat na rah sakega ab
qasam-KHuda-ki main biphra hua samundar hun
ye aur baat ki tum ko main yaad aa na saka
wagarna aaj bhi mahfil mein har zaban par hun
thi meri zat kabhi kaenat ka mehwar
hisar-e-zat mein lekin main aaj shashdar hun
dilon ke band dariche bhi jis se khul jaen
jo paDh sako to paDhe jao main wo mantar hun
jo paDh sake na mera chehra bhi wo KHud-bin tum
jo dard lamhon ka samjhe main wo qalandar hun
