gulshan ko bahaaron ne is tarah nawaza hai
har shakh ke kandhe par kaliyon ka janaza hai

kis tarah bhulaen hum is shahr ke hangame
har dard abhi baqi hai har zakhm abhi taza hai

masti bhi umiden bhi hasrat bhi udasi bhi
mujh ko teri aankhon ne har tarah nawaza hai

mitti ki tarah ek din ud jaega rahon se
sab shor machate hain jab tak lahu taza hai

ye rakh makanon ki zaya na karo 'saghar'
ye ahl-e-siyasat ke rukhsar ka ghaza hai
