subah darbaar main ik shaan se betha dekhoon
shab ko taareekh k ouraaq main ruswaa dekhoon

kisi lamhe ka pakerr haath nikal jaoon kahin
waqt ki aankh main sadiyon ka uterna dekhoon

rang bersaati hui rutt ko chupaa loon gher main
our khirki se zamane ko tarasta dekhoon

sakht badle hue patt jherr k hain tewar ab k
sirf patte nahin paerron ko bhi girta dekhoon

kaam ki aas main ouzaar sajaye mazdoor
phool ummeed ka footpath pe khilta dekhoon
