vo ek ḳhushbū jo apnī qabā badalne lagī
to saare shahr kī āb-o-havā badalne lagī
tamām raste usī kī galī ko jaate haiñ
to kyā huā vo agar rāsta badalne lagī
ajiib nashsha hai duniyā ko ḳhud-farebī kā
bashar badal nahīñ saktī ḳhudā badalne lagī
ye soch lenā tumhāre namak kā kyā hogā
agar hamārī zabāñ zā.iqa badalne lagī
vo muskurā.ī to jī aur be-qarār huā
hamārā dard vahī hai davā badalne lagī
wo ek KHushbu jo apni qaba badalne lagi
to sare shahr ki aab-o-hawa badalne lagi
tamam raste usi ki gali ko jate hain
to kya hua wo agar rasta badalne lagi
ajib nashsha hai duniya ko KHud-farebi ka
bashar badal nahin sakti KHuda badalne lagi
ye soch lena tumhaare namak ka kya hoga
agar hamari zaban zaiqa badalne lagi
wo muskurai to ji aur be-qarar hua
hamara dard wahi hai dawa badalne lagi
