Masjidon ke sahan tak jana bahut dushwar tha
Der se nikala to mere raste may dar tha

Apane hi phailao ke nashe may khoya tha darakht
Aur har masum tahani par phalon ka bar tha

Dekhate hi dekhate shaharon ki raunaq ban gaya
Kal yahi chehara tha jo har aine pe bar tha

Sab ke dukh sukh us ke chehare pe likhe paye gaye
Adami kya tha hamare shahar ka akhabar tha

Ab mohalle bhar ke darawazon pe dastak hai nasib
Ek zamana tha ke jab main bhi bahut khuddar tha

Kagazon ki sab siyahi barishon may dhul gai
Ham ne jo socha tere bare may sab bekar tha
