tamāshā.ī bane rahiye tamāshā dekhte rahiye

yahī duniyā hai to kab tak ye duniyā dekhte rahiye

agar apne bikharne kā nazāra kar nahīñ sakte

to ye kiije ki vo raushan sitāra dekhte rahiye

ki yuuñ manzar badal jaane se hairānī nahīñ hotī

agar gulshan meñ rahnā ho to sahrā dekhte rahiye

miyāñ kyā ā.īñe ko khelne kī chiiz samjhe the

ab apne-āp ko qistoñ meñ baTtā dekhte rahiye

idhar tum pyaas kī hurmat kā qissa chheḌ baiThe ho

udhar mausam ye kahtā hai ki dariyā dekhte rahiye
