gulshan ko bahaaron ne is tarah nawaza hai

gulshan ko bahāroñ ne is tarah navāzā hai

har shāḳh ke kāñdhe par kaliyoñ kā janāza hai

kis tarah bhulā.eñ ham is shahr ke hañgāme

har dard abhī baaqī hai har zaḳhm abhī taaza hai

mastī bhī umīdeñ bhī hasrat bhī udāsī bhī

mujh ko tirī āñkhoñ ne har tarah navāzā hai

miTTī kī tarah ik din uḌ jā.egā rāhoñ se

sab shor machāte haiñ jab tak lahū taazā hai

ye raakh makānoñ kī zaayā na karo 'sāġhar'

ye ahl-e-siyāsat ke ruḳhsār kā ġhāza hai

gulshan ko bahaaron ne is tarah nawaza hai

har shaKH ke kandhe par kaliyon ka janaza hai

kis tarah bhulaen hum is shahr ke hangame

har dard abhi baqi hai har zaKHm abhi taza hai

masti bhi umiden bhi hasrat bhi udasi bhi

mujh ko teri aankhon ne har tarah nawaza hai

miTTi ki tarah ek din uD jaega rahon se

sab shor machate hain jab tak lahu taza hai

ye rakh makanon ki zaya na karo 'saghar'

ye ahl-e-siyasat ke ruKHsar ka ghaza hai
