jina mushkil hai ki aasan zara dekh to lo
jiinā mushkil hai ki āsān zarā dekh to lo
log lagte haiñ pareshān zarā dekh to lo
phir muqarrir koī sargarm sar-e-mimbar hai
kis ke hai qatl kā sāmān zarā dekh to lo
ye nayā shahr to hai ḳhuub basāyā tum ne
kyuuñ purānā huā vīrān zarā dekh to lo
in charāġhoñ ke tale aise añdhere kyuuñ hai
tum bhī rah jāoge hairān zarā dekh to lo
tum ye kahte ho ki maiñ ġhair huuñ phir bhī shāyad
nikal aa.e koī pahchān zarā dekh to lo
ye satā.ish kī tamannā ye sile kī parvāh
kahāñ laa.e haiñ ye armān zarā dekh to lo
jina mushkil hai ki aasan zara dekh to lo
log lagte hain pareshan zara dekh to lo
phir muqarrir koi sargarm sar-e-mimbar hai
kis ke hai qatl ka saman zara dekh to lo
ye naya shahr to hai KHub basaya tum ne
kyun purana hua viran zara dekh to lo
in charaghon ke tale aise andhere kyun hai
tum bhi rah jaoge hairan zara dekh to lo
tum ye kahte ho ki main ghair hun phir bhi shayad
nikal aae koi pahchan zara dekh to lo
ye sataish ki tamanna ye sile ki parwah
kahan lae hain ye arman zara dekh to lo
