pahle to shahr aisa na tha

ek bar chal kar dekh len
shayad guzishta mausamon ka koi ek

dhundla nishan mil jae
aur phir se faza shadab ho

ujda hua ek khwab ho
taswir mein kuchh gard-baad-e-baqiyat-e-mimbar-o-mehrab ho

ek bar chal kar dekh len
phir band hote shahr ke bazar ko

jhanken zara
ujdi dukanon mein

kulah o jubba o dastar ko
ek shahr-e-taza-kar ko kuchh der bhulen

aur us ko silwaton mein
dhunden ek khoi hui taswir ko

taswir mein kuchh baqiyat-e-mimbar-o-mehrab hain
kuchh jalwa-ha-e-ahd-e-alam-tab hain

wo lash jo kuchli gai
wo khwab jo raunde gae

wo nam jo bhule gae
in silwaton mein dafn

kitni barkaton ke raaz hain
ek bar chal kar dekh len

pahle to shahr aisa na tha
