ye kaisa shahr hai main kis ajaib-ghar mein rahta hun

badan ki rakh se raushan sharara kar ke dekhunga

muqaddas pattharon par muddaa raushan na hone ka

mat use hath lagana wo sajan aag hai aag

wo kaun hain phulon ki hifazat nahin karte

asbab kahan jaan-e-jahan dekhte rahna

siyah dil mein safedi ke bij boega

kab kisi gahre samundar ko hawa samjhegi

sitam ki intiha par chal rahi hai

din bahut saffak nikla raat sab dukh sah gai

yaqin hai jis pe wahi bad-guman nikalta hai

kaun kis ke sath rahta hai makan hote hue bhi

KHala mein tair raha hai sawal duniya ka

ek mafruza taqaddus KHud pe tari kar raha hun
