shahr-e-la-makan se hun
jis mein ek makan mera

khwab se ubharta hai
dudhiya sawera sa

dhyan mein nikharta hai
jo hadon se aari hai

intiha nahin rakhta
chaukhaten dariche dar

kya guman mein aaen
(sehn aangan aur diwar ka khayal hi be-kar)

chaar samt ki diwar
chahe kitni phaili ho

aap ka ahata hai
aap ka hai gheraw

kyun giraft mein aaun
kyun mujhe koi ghere

sirf ek khwahish hai
be-hudud aazadi!
