charaghon ka gharana chal raha hai
hava se dostana chal raha hai
javani ki havaen chal rahi hain
buzurgon ka khazana chal raha hai
miri gum-gashtagi par hansne vaalo
mire pichhe zamana chal raha hai
abhi ham zindagi se mil na paae
taaruf ghaebana chal raha hai
nae kirdar aate ja rahe hain
magar natak purana chal raha hai
vahi duniya vahi sansen vahi ham
vahi sab kuchh purana chal raha hai
ziyada kya tavaqqoa ho ghazal se
miyan bas ab-o-dana chal raha hai
samundar se kisi din phir milenge
abhi pina-pilana chal raha hai
vahi mahshar vahi milne ka vaada
vahi budha bahana chal raha hai
yahan ik madrasa hota tha pahle
magar ab kar-khana chal raha hai
