unwan badal gae hain fasane badal gae
tu bhi badal ki ab to zamane badal gae

dil mein na rakh daba ke tamanna ki bijliyan
aksar inhi se aaina-khane badal gae

hum se mohabbaton ki kahani na puchhiye
sab tir chal chuke to nishane badal gae

jis husn ki talash mein sadiyon rawan rahe
pahunche wahan to log suhane badal gae

jazbaat-e-ishq ne nai rahen talash lin
arbab-e-husn ke bhi bahane badal gae

khat ko kabutaron ki zarurat nahin rahi
jade payam-bar ke purane badal gae

rahna sanwar ke husn ka fitri mizaj hai
gesu badal gae hain to shane badal gae

saz-e-qadim raunaq-e-bazm-e-tarab nahin
masti badal gai hai tarane badal gae

surat badal gai hai jaziron ki is tarah
jaise samundaron ke thikane badal gae

sajti hain parkon mein hasinon ki mahfilen
lazzat badal gai hai to khane badal gae

europe sanwarne ke azaem the shaikh ke
pahunche wahan to apne gharane badal gae

badli ruton ki raushni 'shahin' ajib hai
kuchh log kah rahe hain ki thane badal gae
