khaDe hain der se ahbab dekhne ke liye

aalam jiwan khel-tamasha danai nadani hai

tere KHayal ko zanjir karta rahta hun

bas ek tere KHwab se inkar nahin hai

mere hisar se bahar bula raha hai mujhe

main jis jagah bhi rahunga wahin pe aaega

aur ek shahr hai kya shahr-e-guman se aage

har ghaDi ek yahi ehsas-e-ziyan rahta hai

hirasan hun siyahi mein kami hoti nahin hai

koi bhi shai kahan nayab hai hamare liye

waqt se pahle daraKHton pe samar aane lage

ab chhat pe koi chand Tahalta hi nahin hai

kuchh chamakta sa tah-e-ab nazar to aae

hamein apni masafat be-maza karna nahin hai

ek ajab si duniya dekha karta tha
