thag raha attar ban kar kyon wo sare shahr ko
nam de kar itr ka wo bechta hai zahr ko

tod nazuk phul wo lata hai har din bagh se
phir masalta hai unhen wo subh shab dopahar ko

dekh kar ye sab na jaane so raha hai kyon khuda
zalzala le aa abhi ya rok to is qahr ko

likh rahen hain hum sabhi ashaar jo yun baith kar
kya kabhi ashaar ye badlenge bhi is dahr ko
