nigah KHud pe Tiki thi to aur kya dikhta

nigāh ḳhud pe Tikī thī to aur kyā dikhtā

jo ḳhud-numā thā use kis liye ḳhudā dikhtā

dikhī na kā'be meñ vā'iz tumheñ jhalak us kī

hameñ to but meñ bhī hai jalva-e-ḳhudā dikhtā

paḌā hai 'aql tumhārī pe munkiro pardā

tumheñ har ek karishma hai hādisa dikhtā

hazār baar hai chashma badal ke dekh liyā

hameñ to zar bhī hai yaaro turāb sā dikhtā

koī hai DhūñDh rahā koh-o-dasht meñ us ko

kisī ko dil hī meñ jalva hai tuur kā dikhtā

talab ḳhudā se 'sadā' thī talab ḳhudā kī na thī

talab ḳhudā kī jo hotī to jā-ba-jā dikhtā

nigah KHud pe Tiki thi to aur kya dikhta

jo KHud-numa tha use kis liye KHuda dikhta

dikhi na ka'be mein wa'iz tumhein jhalak us ki

hamein to but mein bhi hai jalwa-e-KHuda dikhta

paDa hai 'aql tumhaari pe munkiro parda

tumhein har ek karishma hai hadisa dikhta

hazar bar hai chashma badal ke dekh liya

hamein to zar bhi hai yaro turab sa dikhta

koi hai DhunDh raha koh-o-dasht mein us ko

kisi ko dil hi mein jalwa hai tur ka dikhta

talab KHuda se 'sada' thi talab KHuda ki na thi

talab KHuda ki jo hoti to ja-ba-ja dikhta
