Iss sheher main har shakss pareshaan sa kyun hai,
Dil hai to dharrakne ka bahaana koi dhoondhe,
Pathar ki tarah be-hiss o be-jaan sa kyun hai,
Tanhaayi ki yeh kaun si manzil hai rafiqo,
Ta hadh-e-nazar ek bayabaan sa kyuun hai,
Hum ne to koi baat nikaali nahin gham ki,
Woh zuud-pashemaan pashemaan sa kyun hai,
Kya koi naii baat nazar aati hai hum main,
Aayina hamen dekh ke hairaan sa kyun hai..
