bijli si jidhar chamak rahi hai
har aankh udhar hi tak rahi hai

chal un ki gali mein zindagi chal
bekar yahan bhatak rahi hai

mahsus ye ho raha hai dharti
rafta rafta sarak rahi hai

kya hadisa ho gaya hai koi
kyon khalq-e-khuda thithak rahi hai

is shahr mein jis taraf bhi dekho
nafrat ki chita dahak rahi hai

bajte hain kahin pe shadiyane
tanhai kahin sisak rahi hai

main tujh ko khatak raha hun ya phir
meri shohrat khatak rahi hai

chidiya to chali gai chahak kar
ab yaad teri chahak rahi hai

aankhon mein khwab jagte hain
kheton mein fasl pak rahi hai

khamosh hain sab charagh ai 'nur'
be-kar hawa sanak rahi hai
