shahr-dar-shahr, qarya-dar-qarya
sal-ha-sal se bhatakta hun

bar-ha yun hua ki ye duniya
mujh ko aisi dikhai di jaise

subh ki zau se phul khilta ho
bar-ha yun hua ki raushan chand

yun laga jaise ek andha kuan
ya koi gahra zakhm rista hua

main bahar-kaif phir bhi zinda hun
aur kal sochta raha pahron

mujh ko aisi kabhi lagan to na thi
har jagah teri yaad kyun aai?
