zara zara si aan mein wo jaan-e-jaan badal gaya
kabhi to baat kat di kabhi zaban badal gaya

hamein to ye gila nahin ki jaan-e-jaan badal gaya
gila ye hai ki wo ba-haqq-e-digaran badal gaya

bahaar to bahaar thi khizan bhi ab bahaar hai
nizam-e-gulsitan mizaj-e-baghban badal gaya

baja ki hai taghayyur-e-chaman se zinat-e-chaman
magar ye kya ki gulsitan ka gulsitan badal gaya

fughan-o-zabt-e-ah mein yahi hai farq aur kya
ki aag to lagi rahi magar dhuan badal gaya

rah-e-hayat se hazaron raste nikal gae
kise ye ab khayal hai ki koi kahan badal gaya

teri nigah thi to ek jahan sazgar tha
teri nigah phir gai to ek jahan badal gaya

wahi fareb-e-dushmanan hai is ka gham nahin hamein
hamein to gham ye hai khulus-e-dostan badal gaya

junun ne saunp di khirad ke hath rasm-e-rahbari
lo ahl-e-karwan amir-e-karwan badal gaya

wajud se adam ko yun chala gaya hai ek gharib
kirae-dar jis tarah koi makan badal gaya

haram se jo khulus tha hai der se wahi khulus
jabin wahi hai kya hua jo aastan badal gaya
