asir-e-hijr ki aab-o-hawa badalne ko
kabhi khushi bhi mile zaiqa badalne ko

mera hijab sulagta hai jis ki hiddat se
tum us nazar se kaho zawiya badalne ko

main tere shahar se nikli to mud nahin dekha
agarche log mile bar-ha badalne ko

main jis ke naqsh-e-qadam chumne ko nikli thi
usi ne mujh se kaha rasta badalne ko

hazar zakhm sahe aur phir yahi socha
chalo ek aur sahi tajraba badalne ko

gar us ka sath mile to sitare mil jaen
wo na-guzir hua zaicha badalne ko

mile hain hum kabhi phir se juda na hone ko
chalo ye farz karen faisla badalne ko

yahan pe khud ko badalna hai gar badalna hai
so tum se kis ne kaha hai khuda badalne ko

wo khud to kho chuka duniya ki bhid mein 'iman'
mujhe bhi kah gaya apna pata badalne ko
