kis qadar masala-e-sham-o-sahar badla hai
jab zara zawiya-e-fikr-o-nazar badla hai

samt-e-manzil ka tayyun nahin do gam ki baat
kitne mod aae hain jab tarz-e-safar badla hai

apni aawaz pe hum chaunk uthe hain khud bhi
ek zara lahja-e-ehsas agar badla hai

dasht mein bhi kabhi is tarah na ji lagta tha
ab ke diwangi badli hai ki ghar badla hai

aa gaya hai rasan-o-dar ke mamul mein farq
jab kabhi zabta-e-gardan-o-sar badla hai

ab wo yak-rangi-e-mahaul ki talkhi to nahin
hum ne mai badli na ho jam magar badla hai

inqalab aaya hai is tarah bhi ghar mein akasr
dar se diwar na diwar se dar badla hai
