ye kainat surahi thi jam aankhen thin
ye kā.ināt surāhī thī jaam āñkheñ thiiñ
mavāsalāt kā pahlā nizām āñkheñ thiiñ
ġhanīm-e-shahr ko vo thā basāratoñ kā junūñ
ki jab bhī lauT ke laayā tamām āñkheñ thī
ab aa ga.e haiñ ye chehroñ ke zaḳhm bharne ko
kahāñ ga.e the manāzir jo 'aam āñkheñ thiiñ
ḳhutūt-e-nūr se har hāshiya muzayyan thā
kitāb-e-husn meñ saarā kalām āñkheñ thiiñ
vo qāfila kisī andhe nagar se aayā thā
har ek shaḳhs kā takiya-kalām āñkheñ thiiñ
nazar-faroz thā yūsuf kā pairahan shāyad
dayār-e-misr se pahlā salām āñkheñ thiiñ
tum aur der na dikhte to mar ga.ī hotīñ
qasam ḳhudā kī bahut tishna-kām āñkheñ thiiñ
ġhazāl dekhne aate the dasht bhar ke inheñ
mirī galī meñ 'ajab tīra-fām āñkheñ thiiñ
ik 'ahd ham ne vo dekhā ki jo dikhāyā gayā
ġhulām chehre the apne ġhulām āñkheñ thiiñ
ye kainat surahi thi jam aankhen thin
mawasalat ka pahla nizam aankhen thin
ghanim-e-shahr ko wo tha basaraton ka junun
ki jab bhi lauT ke laya tamam aankhen thi
ab aa gae hain ye chehron ke zaKHm bharne ko
kahan gae the manazir jo 'am aankhen thin
KHutut-e-nur se har hashiya muzayyan tha
kitab-e-husn mein sara kalam aankhen thin
wo qafila kisi andhe nagar se aaya tha
har ek shaKHs ka takiya-kalam aankhen thin
nazar-faroz tha yusuf ka pairahan shayad
dayar-e-misr se pahla salam aankhen thin
tum aur der na dikhte to mar gai hotin
qasam KHuda ki bahut tishna-kaam aankhen thin
ghazal dekhne aate the dasht bhar ke inhen
meri gali mein 'ajab tira-fam aankhen thin
ek 'ahd hum ne wo dekha ki jo dikhaya gaya
ghulam chehre the apne ghulam aankhen thin
