koi lahja koi jumla koi chehra nikal aaya
purane taq ke saman se kya kya nikal aaya

ba-zahir ajnabi basti se jab kuchh der baaten kin
yahan ki ek ek shai se mera rishta nikal aaya

mere aansu hue the jazb jis mitti mein ab us par
kahin pauda kahin sabza kahin chashma nikal aaya

khuda ne ek hi mitti se gundha sab ko ek jaisa
magar hum mein koi adna koi aala nikal aaya

sabhi se fasla rakhne ki aadat thi so ab bhi hai
paraya kaun tha jo shahr mein apna nikal aaya

nae mahaul ne pahchan hi mashkuk kar dali
jo be-chehra the kal tak un ke bhi chehra nikal aaya
