tamam shahr hi dushman hai kya kiya jae

tamam shahr hi dushman hai kya kiya jae
wafa ke nam se bad-zan hai kya kiya jae
mujhi se puchh raha hai ye mera ham-saya
tumhaara ghar mera aangan hai kya kiya jae


gira diya tha mere ghar ko pichhli barish ne
ki phir se ghat mein sawan hai kya kiya jae
padhai jati hai maktab mein ab ghalat tarikh
fasadi hath mein bachpan hai kya kiya jae


jo bachche ho gae qabil ude wo panchhi se
ki suna suna sa aangan hai kya kiya jae
ki sach kuchal diya bewa ki hasraton ki tarah
ki jhut hath mein kangan hai kya kiya jae


haweli dil ki hai 'arman' suni suni si
udas ruh ka aangan hai kya kiya jae
