sab purana hai phir naya kya hai

sab purana hai phir naya kya hai
bas ye dekhen ki kaam ka kya hai
sirf jalne ki aa rahi hai bu
ye to jaanen ki jal raha kya hai


ek 'ajab be-hisi mein simti hai
apni duniya tujhe hua kya hai
tai kiya hum ne ek tawil safar
ibtida hai ye intiha kya hai


har koi dhundhta hi phirta hai
sab ka duniya mein kho gaya kya hai
kaam kije to baat banti hai
nam hota hai nam ka kya hai


aasman kah raha hai apni baat
ai zamin tera tajraba kya hai
meri duniya tujhe khabar bhi hai
ahl-e-dil ka mutalba kya hai


kitni sadiyon se sah rahi hai 'azab
har nai nasl ki khata kya hai
