log yun jate nazar aate hain maqtal ki taraf
masale jaise rawana hon kisi hal ki taraf

main hun ek lafz tarasta hun magar mani ko
rashk se dekhta hun tabe-e-mohmal ki taraf

shahr wale hi kabhi khinch ke le aate hain
ji mera warna uda phirta hai jangal ki taraf

be-khabar haal se hun khauf hai aainda ka
aur aankhen hain meri guzre hue kal ki taraf

wo udasi hai ki sab but se bane baithe hain
koi halchal hai to bas shahr ke pagal ki taraf
