tu mujh ko jo is shahr mein laya nahin hota
main be-sar-o-saman kabhi ruswa nahin hota

us ki to ye aadat hai kisi ka nahin hota
phir is mein ajab kya ki hamara nahin hota

kuchh ped bhi be-faiz hain is rahguzar ke
kuchh dhup bhi aisi hai ki saya nahin hota

khwabon mein jo ek shahr bana deta hai mujh ko
jab aankh khuli ho to wo chehra nahin hota

kis ki hai ye taswir jo banti nahin mujh se
main kis ka taqaza hun ki pura nahin hota

main shahr mein kis shakhs ko jine ki dua dun
jina bhi to sab ke liye achchha nahin hota
