kahan kisi ki nazar hai teri nazar ki tarah

kahāñ kisī kī nazar hai tirī nazar kī tarah

jo kaam dil kā bhī kartī chale jigar kī tarah

bahut se aise bhī duniyā meñ log milte haiñ

jo bā-ḳhabar haiñ magar haiñ vo be-ḳhabar kī tarah

ye barbariyat-o-vahshat ye aag aur ye dhuāñ

bashar ko rahnā bhī mushkil hai ab bashar kī tarah

asīr-e-hūr haiñ vaa.iz ab un kī kaun sune

kahānī aap kī hai tūl-e-muḳhtasar kī tarah

barasne ko to barastā hai abr-e-naisāñ bhī

magar baras na sakā merī chashm-e-tar kī tarah

na jaane kaun se aalam meñ gum huā 'āsī'

na bā-ḳhabar kī tarah hai na be-ḳhabar kī tarah

kahan kisi ki nazar hai teri nazar ki tarah

jo kaam dil ka bhi karti chale jigar ki tarah

bahut se aise bhi duniya mein log milte hain

jo ba-KHabar hain magar hain wo be-KHabar ki tarah

ye barbariyat-o-wahshat ye aag aur ye dhuan

bashar ko rahna bhi mushkil hai ab bashar ki tarah

asir-e-hur hain waiz ab un ki kaun sune

kahani aap ki hai tul-e-muKHtasar ki tarah

barasne ko to barasta hai abr-e-naisan bhi

magar baras na saka meri chashm-e-tar ki tarah

na jaane kaun se aalam mein gum hua 'asi'

na ba-KHabar ki tarah hai na be-KHabar ki tarah
