is bulandi pe kahan the pahle
ab jo baadal hain dhuan the pahle

naqsh mitte hain to aata hai khayal
ret par hum bhi kahan the pahle

ab har ek shakhs hai ezaz talab
shahr mein chand makan the pahle

aaj shahron mein hain jitne khatre
jangalon mein bhi kahan the pahle

log yun kahte hain apne qisse
jaise wo shah-jahan the pahle

tut kar hum bhi mila karte the
bewafa tum bhi kahan the pahle
