jaise koi sayyah safar se laute
jab sham ko tum laut ke ghar aaoge

har naqsh mohabbat se tumhein dekhega
har yaad ko takta hua tum paoge

tum baithoge afkar ki khamoshi mein
sochoge ki is ranj se kya hath aaya

tum dhundne nikle the magar kya paya
jam jaengi shoalon pe tumhaari aankhen

har shoale mein ek khwab nazar aaega
diwaron pe parchhaiyan lahraengi

har rasta aawazon se bhar jaega
ek shahr hai aabaad tumhaare dil mein

ek shahr jo gumnam hai na-paida hai
ek shahr jo manind-e-shajar tanha hai
