na mah-ru na kisi mahtab se hui thi

har bure waqt ke afaal badal deta hai

meri imlak samajh be-sar-o-samani ko

tasawwur munkashif-az-baam ho jaane se Darta hun

shahr-e-dil kunj-e-bayaban nahin tha pahle

KHasara-dar-KHasara kar liya jae

ye kya ki KHalq ko pura dikhai deta hun

hasb-e-maqsud ho gaya hun main

dar-e-shahi se dar-e-gadai pe aa gaya hun
