chhoda tha apna des ki qadren badal gain
pahuncha jo shahr-e-nau mein to samten badal gain

khana-kharab-haal se be-kaifiyan na puchh
shamen udas ho gain bazmen badal gain

kahna jo koi bichhda hua mujh ko puchh le
us shair-e-jamal ki fikren badal gain

ai shahr-e-khamushan mere apne kahan gae
katbe zamin nigal gai qabren badal gain

ab pyar mein wafaon ki rasmen nahin rahin
zulfon mein qaid rahne ki sharten badal gain

aazadiyon ke raqs-e-barahna ka daur hai
ajdad the ghulam wo naslen badal gain

han han yahi dayar tera ku-e-yar hai
'rizwan' ye kya hua teri nazren badal gain
