daman-e-gul mein kahin Khaar chhupa dekhte hain
dāman-e-gul meñ kahīñ ḳhaar chhupā dekhte haiñ
aap achchhā nahīñ karte ki burā dekhte haiñ
ham se vo pūchh rahe haiñ ki kahāñ hai aur ham
jis taraf aañkh uThāte haiñ ḳhudā dekhte haiñ
kuchh nahīñ hai ki jo hai vo bhī nahīñ hai maujūd
ham jo yuuñ mahv-e-tamāshā haiñ to kyā dekhte haiñ
log kahte haiñ ki vo shaḳhs hai ḳhushbū jaisā
saath shāyad use le aa.e havā dekhte haiñ
zāviya dhuup ne kuchh aisā banāyā hai ki ham
saa.e ko jism kī jumbish se judā dekhte haiñ
is qadar tāzgī rakhī hai nazar meñ hamne
koī manzar ho purānā to nayā dekhte haiñ
ab kahīñ shahr meñ 'āsim' hai na 'ġhālib' koī
kis ke ghar jaa.e ye sailāb-e-balā dekhte haiñ
daman-e-gul mein kahin KHar chhupa dekhte hain
aap achchha nahin karte ki bura dekhte hain
hum se wo puchh rahe hain ki kahan hai aur hum
jis taraf aankh uThate hain KHuda dekhte hain
kuchh nahin hai ki jo hai wo bhi nahin hai maujud
hum jo yun mahw-e-tamasha hain to kya dekhte hain
log kahte hain ki wo shaKHs hai KHushbu jaisa
sath shayad use le aae hawa dekhte hain
zawiya dhup ne kuchh aisa banaya hai ki hum
sae ko jism ki jumbish se juda dekhte hain
is qadar tazgi rakhi hai nazar mein hamne
koi manzar ho purana to naya dekhte hain
ab kahin shahr mein 'asim' hai na 'ghaalib' koi
kis ke ghar jae ye sailab-e-bala dekhte hain
