Is tarhaN hey ke har ik perr koi mandir hey
koi ujrra huwa, benoor, puraana mandir
dhooNdta hey jo kharaabi ke bahaaney kab se
chaak har baam, har ik dard ka dam-e-aakhir hey
aasmaaN koi prohit hey jo har baam taley
jism pe raakh maley, maathey pe sindoor maley
sir-niguN betha hey chup chaap naa jaaney kab sey
Is tarhaN hey ke pas-e-parda koi saahir hey
jis ney aafaaq pe phelaaya hey yuN sehar kaa daam
daaman-e-waqt sey pewast hey yuN daaman-e-shaam
ab kabhi shaam bujhey gi na andhera ho ga
ab kabhi raat dhaley gi na sawera ho ga
AasmaaN aas leeye hey ke ye jaadu tootey
chup ki zanjeer katey, waqt ka daaman chootey
dey koi sankh duhaai, koi paayal boley
koi butt jaagey, koi saaNwali ghooNgat kholey.
