ye mere shahr ka ek aur hadisa hoga
wo kal yahan mera mehman ban chuka hoga

talash mein hun kisi ki main kab se sargardan
usi tarah koi mujh ko bhi dhundhta hoga

meri tarah se koi chikhta hai rahon mein
meri tarah koi duniya ko dekhta hoga

laga ke aaega chehra koi naya shab mein
wo jis ko baith ke din mein tarashta hoga

shanasa chehre bhi lagne lage hain begane
ab apna waqt hi shayad badal raha hoga

udas udas sa khoya hua sa rahta hai
kuchh us se bhi koi kah kar badal gaya hoga

thaka thaka sa usi dar pe aa ke baitha tha
na puchha hoga kisi ne to chal diya hoga

jahan pahunch ke qadam dagmagae hain sab ke
usi maqam se ab apna rasta hoga
