Suna hai log usay aankh bhar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai log usay aankh bhar ke dekhte hain

So us ke shahar main kuchh din thehr ke dekhte hain

Suna hai rabt hai us ko kharab halon se

So apne aap ko barbad kar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai dard ki gahak hain chashm-e nazuk us ki

So ham bhi us ki gali se guzar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai us ko bhi hai sher-o shayari se shagaf

So ham bhi mojazay apnay hunar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai bole to baton se phool jharrtay hain

Ye baat hai to chalo baat kar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai raat use chand takta rehta hai

Sitaray baam-e falak se utar kar dekhtay hain

Suna hai hashr hain us ki ghazaal si aankhain

Suna hai us ko hiran dasht bhar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai din ko usay titliyan satati hain

Suna hai raat ko jugno thahar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai rat se barh kar hain kakulan us ki

Suna hai sham ko saye guzar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai us ki siyah chashmagi qiyamat hai

So us ko surma farosh aankh bhar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai us ke labon se gulab jalate hain

So ham bahar par ilzaam dhar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai aaina tamasal hai jabin us ka

Jo sada dill hain ban sanvar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai jab se hamail hain us ki gardan main

Mizaj aur hi lal-o gauhar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai chashm-e tasavur se dasht-e imkan main

Palang zawaiya us ki kamar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai us ke badan ke tarash aisay hain

Ke phuul apani qabayain qatar ke dekhte hain

Woh sarvqad hai magar begul-e muraad nahin

Ke us shajar pe shagufay samar ke dekhte hain

Bas ek nigah se lutata hai qafila dil ka

So rahravaan-e tamannaa bhi dar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai us ke shabistan se mutasil hai behisht

Makin udhar ke bhi jalway idhar ke dekhte hain

Rukay tu gardishain us ka tawaf karti hain

Chalay to us ko zamanay theher ke dekhte hain

Kisay naseeb ke be parahan usay dekhay

Kabhi kabhi dar-o divaar ghar ke dekhte hain

Kahaniyan hi sahi sab mubalaghay hi sahi

Agar woh khawb hai tabeer kar ke dekhte hain

Ab us ke sheher main thehrain ke kooch kar jayan

Faraz aao sitaray safar ke dekhte hain
