وہ بلائیں تو کیا تماشہ ہو

وہ بلائیں تو کیا تماشہ ہو ہم نا جائیں تو کیا تماشہ ہو یہ کناروں سے کھیلنے والے ڈوب جائیں تو کیا تماشہ ہو بندہ پرور جو ہم پہ گزری ہے ہم بتائیں تو کیا تماشہ ہو آج ہم بھی تیری وفاؤں پر مسکرائیں تو کیا تماشہ ہو تیری صورت جو اتفاق سے ہم بھول جائیں تو کیا تماشہ ہو وقت کی چند ساعتیں ساغر لوٹ آئیں تو کیا تماشہ ہو

Wo bulayein toh kya tamasha ho Hum na jayein toh kya tamasha ho Yeh kinaaron se khelne wale Doobh jayein toh kya tamasha ho Banda-parwar jo hum pe guzri hai Hum batayein toh kya tamasha ho Aj hum bhi teri wafaon par Muskurayein toh kya tamasha ho Teri surat jo ittefaq se hum Bhool jayein toh kya tamasha ho Waqt ki chand sa'atain saghar Laut ayein toh kya tamasha ho.
