jo thi ilaqe mein sab se hasin bech aae
hum apne purkhon ki sari zamin bech aae

purane logon ne ganjon ko kanghiyan bechin
nae jo log hain sanpon ko bin bech aae

bharam tha dil mein jo mahfil ka wo bhi dil se gaya
sukhan to bikta tha tum samain bech aae

nahin ye gham ki amanat mein kyun khayanat ki
mujhe ye dukh hai wo apna yaqin beach aae

jo log khate hain urdu ke nam ki roti
labon pe un ke hai bas sin shin bech aae

pakad li zang mein lipti hoi nai tahzib
mila tha hum ko jo sone sa din bech aae
