suna hai us ne tamashon mein aankh kholi thi
jo aaj sab ko hansata hai maskharon ki tarah

qadim daur ke kuchh naqsh us ke chehre par
nae zamanon ke nauhe suna rahe hain hamein

jadid ahd mein kitne tamashe ho rahe hain
drone hamle dhamake tabahi aur jangen

hum in tamashon ke har maskhare ko jaante hain
tamasha karte hue qahqahe lagate hue

ye maskhare hamein jam-e-ajal pila denge
ye hone wale tamashe hamare bachchon ko

na jaane kaun se circus mein la khada kar den
hamari aankh se mitte hue hasin manzar

inhi tamashon ke andar kahin bhatak rahe hain
