ajab hi kya hai agar dhund mein ghubar mein hai
wo shakhs apne banae hue hisar mein hai

kahan hai waqt abhi hum ko dil lagane ka
hamari soch abhi fikr-e-rozgar mein hai

ghamon ke sae mein khushiyon ke phul mahke hain
khizan ka aks bhi kuchh mausam-e-bahaar mein hai

jo eqtidar ke laeq na tha kisi surat
sitam ye hai ki wahi shakhs eqtidar mein hai

khuda ko karna hai wapas rahe khayal 'ejaz'
hamare pas to ye zindagi udhaar mein hai
