zamin se ta-falak chhai hui hai raushni-e-la
ye sara shahr hai meri nazar mein aankh ka dhoka

samundar mein nadi ban kar utar jaun kahan tak main
nigal jaega pani ek din sara badan mera

ugal degi zamin sab aag ek din apne andar ki
rakhe kab tak bhala ye bojh sine par pahadon ka

nagar ko log khulta sa ek aaina samajhte the
magar mujh ko nazar aaya koi chehra na apna sa

use mein dhundhta tha raat ki gahri khamoshi mein
na jaane kis tarah phir shahr mein mera hua charcha
