yaqinan aap ko dhoka hua hai
wagarna kya kabhi aisa hua hai

ye kis ke husn ka charcha hua hai
ki sara shahr diwana hua hai

charagh-e-dard raushan ho udhar bhi
idhar hi zakhm kyon taza hua hai

hamein bhi khak hona hai wahan tak
jahan tak aasman phaila hua hai

main jis se khud kinara kar chuka tha
muqabil phir wahi dariya hua hai

kaji hai khud hamare dekhne mein
ki rukh us ka hi kuchh badla hua hai

abhi kya jaan ki bazi lagaen
abhi nuqsan hi kitna hua hai
