ai mere shahr-e-ishq tera kaisa bakht hai
main jis ko dekhta hun wahi lakht lakht hai

khush ho raha hun is liye mitti pe baith kar
yaro yahi zamin mera pahla takht hai

chhanw ki justuju bhi kahan le ke aa gai
sahra se puchhta hun kahin par darakht hai

duniya mere mizaj ko samjhi nahin abhi
shayad isi liye mera lahja karakht hai

ek pal mein kaise niklun main duniya samet kar
sari zamin pe bikhra hua mera rakht hai

'ehsan' wo to phul se nazuk laga mujhe
main to samajh raha tha wo patthar se sakht hai
