har qadam ko soch kar rakhiyega ab
hadisa hai raah men chalta hua

ham to samjhe the hamen pahchanta koi nahin
apni barbadi to ghar ghar ki kahani ho ga.i

jhiil ke Thahre hue paani men patthar phenk kar
da.era uThti hui lahron ka ham dekha kiye

jab bhi main ne khol kar dekhi hai yadon ki kitab
yunhi safhon par taDapte mil ga.e kuchh vaqi.at

kal na jaane shahr men kis baat ka jalsa hua
aaj saare shahr ka naqsha hai kuchh badla hua

dar-o-divar pe parchha.iyan aati thiin nazar
baat karne ko bhi tarsi huun sahar hone tak

har qadam ko soch kar rakhiyegaa ab
haadisa hai raah mein chaltaa huaa

dar-o-divaar pe parchhaaiyaan aati thiin nazar
baat karne ko bhi tarsi huun sahar hone tak

ham to samjhe the hamein pahchaantaa koi nahin
apni barbaadi to ghar ghar ki kahaani ho gai

jhiil ke Thahre hue paani mein patthar pheink kar
daaera uThti hui lahron kaa ham dekhaa kiye

jab bhi main ne khol kar dekhi hai yaadon ki kitaab
yunhi safhon par taDapte mil gae kuchh vaaqiaat

kal na jaane shahr mein kis baat kaa jalsa huaa
aaj saare shahr kaa naqsha hai kuchh badlaa huaa
