tum apane aqeedon ke neze
har dil mein utaare jaate ho
ham log mohabbat vaale hain
tum khanjar kyoon laharaate ho
is shahar mein nagme bahane do
bastee mein hamen bhee rahane do
ham paalanahaar hain phoolon ke
ham khushaboo ke rakhavaale hain
tum kis ka lahoo peene aae
ham pyaar sikhaane vaale hain
is shahar mein phir kya dekhoge
jab harf yahaan mar jaega
jab teg pe lay kat jaegee
jab sher safar kar jaega
jab qatl hua sur saazon ka
jab kaal pada aavaazon ka
jab shahar khandahar ban jaega
phir kis par sang uthaoge
apane chehare aaeenon mein
jab dekhoge dar jaoge!
