mayassar ho jo lamha dekhne ko
kitabon mein hai kya kya dekhne ko

hazaron qadd-e-adam aaine hain
magar tarsoge chehra dekhne ko

abhi hain kuchh purani yaadgaren
tum aana shahr mera dekhne ko

phir us ke baad tha khamosh pani
ki log aae the dariya dekhne ko

hawa se hi khulta tha aksar
mujhe bhi ek daricha dekhne ko

qayamat ka hai sannata faza mein
nahin koi parinda dekhne ko

abhi kuchh phul hain shakhon pe 'azhar'
mujhe kanton mein uljha dekhne ko
