ek nagar ke naqsh bhala doon ek nagar ijaad karoon

ek taraf khaamoshi kar doon ek taraf aabaad karoon

manzil shab jab tay karni hai apne akele dam se hi

kis ke liye us jagah pe ruk kar din apna barbaad karoon

bahut quadeem ka naam hai koi abr w hua ke toofan mein

naam jo mein ab bhool chuka hoon kaise us ko yaad karoon

ja ke sunoon aasaar chaman mein saayin saayin shaakhon ki

khaali mahal ke barjon se deedaar barque w baad karoon

sher maneeraؔ likhoon mein uth kar sehan sahar ke rangon mein

yaa phir kaam ye nazm jahan ka shaam dhale ke baad karoon

nwaah wusaat maidan mein hairaani bahut hai

dilon mein us kharaabi se pareshaani bahut hai

kahan se hai kahan tak hai khabar us ki nahi milti

ye duniyaa apne pheelaaؤ mein anjaani bahut hai

badi mushkil se ye jaana ki hijr yaar mein rahna

bahut mushkil hai par aakhir mein aasaani bahut hai

basar jitni hui be kaar w be manzil zamaane mein

mujhe us zindagaani par pashemaani bahut hai

nikal aate hain raste khud b khud jab kuchh na hota ho

ki mushkil mein hamein khwaabon ki arzaani bahut hai

bahut raunaque hai baazaaron mein galiyon aur mahlon mein

par us raunaque se shahar dil mein weeraani bahut hai

saaat hijran hai ab kaise jahaanon mein rahoon

kin alaaquon mein bason mein kin makaanon mein rahoon

ek dasht la makan phaila hai mere har taraf

dasht se naklon toh ja kar kin thakaanon mein rahoon

ilm hai jo paas mere kis jagah afsha karoon

yaa abad tak us khabar ke raazdaanon mein rahoon

wasl ki shaam siyah us se pare aabaadeean

khawaab daaim hai yahi mein jin zamaanon mein rahoon

ye safar maaloom ka maaloom tak hai ai maneeraؔ

mein kahan tak un hadon ke quaid khaanon mein rahoon

khawaab w khayaal gul se kidhar jaae aadmi

ik gulshan hua hai jidhar jaae aadmi

dekhe hue se lagte hain raste makan makin

jis shahar mein bhatak ke jidhar jaae aadmi

dekhe hain wo nagar ki abhi tak hoon khauf mein

wo soortein mili hain ki dar jaae aadmi

ye bahar hasat w bood hai be gauhar muraad

gahraayeewan mein us ki agar jaae aadmi
