Ye un dino ka zikar hai ik badsha tha
Jis ki nazar main zindgi karna gunah tha
Shoq e marjat ki waha urth rahi tha khak
Kashti jali hoi thi kinara sayah tha
Main us k sath phirta tha kasre qaseem main
Is doti ka ik kabotar gawa tha
Betha tha is pay chand kisi cheel ki taraha
Kitna land shahar main nakhle gunah tha
Totay paro ka taj meri yadgar hai
At kaj kala main bhi kabhi kaj kala tha
Ahlay hunar ko meri raror thi jin dino
Takiya faqeer ka meri ama jaga main tha
