Maine jab tab jidhar jidhar dekha

main ne jab tab jidhar jidhar dekha
apni surat ka hi bashar dekha

ret mein dafn the makan jahan
un pe miTTi ka bhi asar dekha

jab sukunat thi meri barzaKH mein
nek ruhon ka ek nagar dekha

jo barahna mudam rahta tha
main ne malbus wo shajar dekha

apne maslak pe gamzan tha jab
raushni ko bhi ham-safar dekha

mujh pe tha har wajud ka saya
dhup ko jab barahna-sar dekha

mujh ko ehsas bartari ka hua
rifaton ko jab ek nazar dekha

jis ki tauhin ki sitaron ne
main ne aisa bhi ek qamar dekha

us ke ruKH par mera hi partaw tha
main ne jis ko bhi ek nazar dekha

us ki rudad bum se puchho
jo bhi kuchh us ne raat-bhar dekha

meri chiDiyon se thi rifaqat kya
saf suthra jo apna ghar dekha

dekhna tha ki dew sa bhi hun
chaDh ke kandhon pe apna sar dekha

aatma se jo rabta tha mera
zat apni mein ishwar dekha

bahr-o-bar se wo muKHtalif tha 'figar'
main ne manzar jo auj par dekha
