purane mohalle ka sunsan aangan
mujhe pa ke tha kitna hairan aangan

ye tahzib ko panw chalna sikhaen
samete hain sadiyon ke imkan aangan

wo diwar se jhankti shokh aankhen
wo pahre pe budha nigahban aangan

koi jast mein par karta hai chaukhat
kisi ke liye ek bayaban aangan

kisi ke liye paya-e-takht hai ye
kisi ke liye ek zindan aangan

suna rafta rafta khandar ho rahe hain
wo aabaad galiyan wo gunjaan aangan

kidhar jaen tahzib ki hijraton mein
ye budhe darakht aur ye viran aangan
