ajab tarah se main sarf-e-malal hone laga
jo shahr ka hai wahi dil ka haal hone laga

sab us ki bazm mein the mujrmon ki tarah khamosh
hum aa gae to hamin se sawal hone laga

ab aasman se mujhe shikwa-e-jafa bhi nahin
har inqalab mere hasb-e-haal hone laga

hamare kaif-o-masarrat mein ehtimam kahan
hawae taza chali ji bahaal hone laga

jo khush nahin hai 'sahar' ban ke mera ham-saya
wo kis guman pe mera ham-khayal hone laga
