is bhare shahr men koi aisa nahin
jo mujhe raah chalte ko pahchan le
aur avaz de o be o sar-phire
donon ik dusre se lipat kar vahin
gird-o-pesh aur mahaul ko bhuul kar
galiyan den hansen hatha-pai karen
paas ke ped ki chhanv men baith kar
ghanton ik dusre ki sunen aur kahen
aur is nek ruhon ke bazar men
meri ye qimti be-baha zindagi
ek din ke liye apna rukh mod le
