idhar dekh lenā udhar dekh lenā
kan-añkhiyoñ se us ko magar dekh lenā

faqat nabz se haal zāhir na hogā
mirā dil bhī ai chārāgar dekh lenā

kabhī zikr-e-dīdār aayā to bole
qayāmat se bhī pesh-tar dekh lenā

na denā ḳhat-e-shauq ghabrā ke pahle
mahal mauqa ai nāma-bar dekh lenā

kahīñ aise bigḌe sañvarte bhī dekhe
na ā.eñge vo raah par dekh lenā

taġhāful meñ shoḳhī nirālī adā thī
ġhazab thā vo muñh pher kar dekh lenā

shab-e-va.ada apnā yahī mashġhala thā
uThā kar nazar sū-e-dar dekh lenā

bulāyā jo ġhairoñ ko dāvat meñ tum ne
mujhe pesh-tar apne ghar dekh lenā

mohabbat ke bāzār meñ aur kyā hai
koī dil dikhā.e agar dekh lenā

mire sāmne ġhair se bhī ishāre
idhar bhī udhar dekh kar dekh lenā

na ho nāzuk itnā bhī mashshāta koī
dahan dekh lenā kamar dekh lenā

nahīñ rakhne dete jahāñ paañv ham ko
usī āstāne pe sar dekh lenā

tamāshā-e-ālam kī fursat hai kis ko
ġhanīmat hai bas ik nazar dekh lenā

diye jaate haiñ aaj kuchh likh ke tum ko
use vaqt-e-fursat magar dekh lenā

hamīñ jaan deñge hamīñ mar miTeñge
hameñ tum kisī vaqt par dekh lenā

jalāyā to hai 'dāġh' ke dil ko tum ne
magar is kā hogā asar dekh lenā

idhar dekh lena udhar dekh lena
kan-ankhiyon se us ko magar dekh lena

faqat nabz se haal zahir na hoga
mera dil bhi ai chaaragar dekh lena

kabhi zikr-e-didar aaya to bole
qayamat se bhi pesh-tar dekh lena

na dena KHat-e-shauq ghabra ke pahle
mahal mauqa ai nama-bar dekh lena

kahin aise bigDe sanwarte bhi dekhe
na aaenge wo rah par dekh lena

taghaful mein shoKHi nirali ada thi
ghazab tha wo munh pher kar dekh lena

shab-e-wada apna yahi mashghala tha
uTha kar nazar su-e-dar dekh lena

bulaya jo ghairon ko dawat mein tum ne
mujhe pesh-tar apne ghar dekh lena

mohabbat ke bazar mein aur kya hai
koi dil dikhae agar dekh lena

mere samne ghair se bhi ishaare
idhar bhi udhar dekh kar dekh lena

na ho nazuk itna bhi mashshata koi
dahan dekh lena kamar dekh lena

nahin rakhne dete jahan panw hum ko
usi aastane pe sar dekh lena

tamasha-e-alam ki fursat hai kis ko
ghanimat hai bas ek nazar dekh lena

diye jate hain aaj kuchh likh ke tum ko
use waqt-e-fursat magar dekh lena

hamin jaan denge hamin mar miTenge
hamein tum kisi waqt par dekh lena

jalaya to hai 'dagh' ke dil ko tum ne
magar is ka hoga asar dekh lena
