ba-zahir jo nazar aate ho tum masrur aisa kaise karte ho

wo talluq zindagi jis mein raha bil-wasta main

phir suraj ne shahr pe apne qahr ka yun aaghaz kiya

jhuka ke sar ko chalna jis jagah ka qaeda tha

kya sochte rahte ho taswir bana kar ke

viran bahut hai KHwab-mahal jagte raho

marhale saKHt bahut pesh-e-nazar bhi aae

kya dastan thi pahle bayan hi nahin hui

samundaron mein sarab aur KHushkiyon mein girdab dekhta hai

ye taghayyur ru-numa ho jaega socha na tha
