parai aag mein jalne ki aarzu hai wahi
badal gaya hai magar wahshaton ki khu hai wahi

wo shahr chhod ke muddat hui chala bhi gaya
had-e-ufuq pe magar chand ru-ba-ru hai wahi

zamana lakh sitaron ko chhu ke aa jae
abhi dilon ko magar hajat-e-rafu hai wahi

qarib tha to sabhi us se be-khabar the magar
chala gaya hai to mauzu-e-guftugu hai wahi
