zara dekhiye to ghazab dha rahe hain
ghazal ke bahane suna kya rahe hain

kitabon mein jo phul murjha gae the
baghawat ke parcham nazar aa rahe hain

kabhi zindagi ka ujala hamin the
hamin aankh mein ab chubhe ja rahe hain

karen kaise chaaragaron pe bharosa
maraz kaun sa hai bata kya rahe hain

safina hamara khuda ke hawale
hamein kya khabar bas chale ja rahe hain
