hoga kya chand-nagar sochte hain
hum ba-unwan-e-digar sochte hain

apna zahir mein koi jurm na tha
kyun hue shahr-badar sochte hain

shakh-dar-shakh hain gum-sum tair
sar ko nehudae shajar sochte hain

koi batlae ye kya wadi hai
dam-ba-khud koh hajar sochte hain

jaane kyun mujh se bichhad kar 'munzir'
wo bhi manind-e-bashar sochte hain
