ashkon se dhul ke aaina-khana badal gaya
barish hui to mausam-e-rafta badal gaya

jab bhi sambhaala chand ne barbaad shahr ko
diwar-o-dar wahi rahe naqsha badal gaya

ek dasht-e-be-aman mein safar kar rahe the hum
sansen ukhad gain kabhi rasta badal gaya

utri nazar se gard to manzar kuchh aur tha
yun lag raha tha jaise wo chehra badal gaya

har bar pahunche hum tere mear tak magar
har bar tera hum se taqaza badal gaya

pahle to intiqam ne shal kar diye hawas
phir jaane kya hua ki irada badal gaya

is bar tere harf-e-tasalli na bin sake
is bar teri baat ka lahja badal gaya

kam kam raha tha din ke samay dil mein tera aks
shab aa gai to jaise ye shisha badal gaya
