mere apnon ko bas ye khal raha tha
mere pichhe zamana chal raha tha

lahu ki bu mahal se aa rahi hai
yahan shayad kabhi maqtal raha tha

parindo haq se baitho buildingon par
ki pahle is jagah jangal raha tha

likha tha bewafa ek bar mujh ko
so us ka hath barson shal raha tha

teri dastar uchhli ab moallim
kabhi juta tera afzal raha tha

dhuen ki lahr thi kuchh hi chhaton par
magar andar se har ghar jal raha tha

'nabil' us se chalo danai sikhen
wahi jo muddaton pagal raha tha
