ajib shahr ka naqsha dikhai deta hai
jidhar bhi dekho andhera dikhai deta hai

nazar nazar ki hai aur apne apne zarf ki baat
mujhe to qatre mein dariya dikhai deta hai

bura kahe jise duniya bura nahin hota
meri nazar mein wo achchha dikhai deta hai

nahin fareb-e-nazar ye yahi haqiqat hai
mujhe to shahr bhi sahra dikhai deta hai

hain sirf kahne ko bijli ke qumqume raushan
har ek samt andhera dikhai deta hai

ajib haal hai sailab ban gae sahra
jise bhi dekhiye pyasa dikhai deta hai
