ye inqilab-e-zamana nahin to phir kya hai

ab aa bhi jao ki ek dusre mein gum ho jaen

jo dekhiye to zamana hai tez-rau kitna

raat aangan mein chand utra tha

dekho to har ek rang se milta hai mera rang

dil ne go lakh ye chaha ki bhula dun tujhko

aadmi ka amal se rishta hai

gham-gusari ke liye ab nahin aata hai koi

sukun-e-qalb to kiya hai qarar-e-jaan bhi luTa

kis darja mere shahr ki dilkash hai faza bhi

koi nahin hai aisa ki apna kahen jise

log kya sada hain ummid-e-wafa rakhte hain

log qismat pe chhoD dete hain

tujhse bichhaD ke hum to yahi sochte rahe

jab bhi milta hai muskuraata hai
