hamare gham ka charcha ho raha hai
ajab jashn-e-tamanna ho raha hai

main bahar se uchak kar dekhta hun
mere andar tamasha ho raha hai

nae ki fikr mein hum ghul rahe hain
naya har pal purana ho raha hai

badan mein chubh rahi hai tez barish
nadi ka zakhm gahra ho raha hai

tumhaari yaad dhundli pad rahi hai
to kya qismat ka likkha ho raha hai

khudai chal rahi hai dil-zamin par
purana shahr zinda ho raha hai
