hum shahr ki diwaron mein khinch aae hain yaro

kyun shahr ujaD sa paDa tha

safir-e-fan the so taswir kar diye gae hum

jo shaKHs akela hi bojhal safar se aaya tha

mera to waqt ghar se kuch hi ka hai

malal ji pe na yun ek chaaragar ne liya

kaun aashna hai kis pe nazar jae shahr mein

jhuTe iqrar se inkar achchha

gham-e-KHashak kya shoale ko hoga

itni qimat-e-sham-e-safar dun ye nahin hoga

darwaza shahr-e-gul ka hua wa to kya hua

aaKHir aaKHir ek gham hi aashna rah jaega

pa-ba-jaulan arsa-e-sarw-o-saba mein aae hain

nahin gulon ki jo kanTon ki ab KHushi hai mujhe

kuchh lahu to farozan hamara bhi hai
