lamha-e-imkan ko pahlu badalte dekhna

bastiyan to aasman le jaenge

tariq koi na aaya mujhe zamane ka

aasman-e-yas par khoya sitara DhunDhna

kabhi bahut hai kabhi dhyan tera kuchh kam hai

izhaar-e-junun bar-sar-e-bazar hua hai

suraj sara shahr Daraata rahta hai

kabhi wo misl-e-gul mujhe misal-e-Khaar chahiye

jachti nahin kuchh shahi-o-imlak nazar mein

kis tarah usko bulaun KHana-e-barbaad mein

dukhon ke rup bahut aur sukhon ke KHwab bahut

shahron ke sare jangal gunjaan ho gae hain
