ba-zahir jo nazar aate ho tum masrur aisa kaise karte ho

phir suraj ne shahr pe apne qahr ka yun aaghaz kiya

wo talluq zindagi jis mein raha bil-wasta main

jhuka ke sar ko chalna jis jagah ka qaeda tha

kya sochte rahte ho taswir bana kar ke

viran bahut hai KHwab-mahal jagte raho

marhale saKHt bahut pesh-e-nazar bhi aae

samundaron mein sarab aur KHushkiyon mein girdab dekhta hai

kya dastan thi pahle bayan hi nahin hui

ye taghayyur ru-numa ho jaega socha na tha
