Sheher ko teri justaju hai bohat,
In dinon hum pe guftagu hai bohat,
Jab se parvaaz ke shareek miley,
Ghar bananey ki aarzoo hai bohat,
Dard reh reh ke sar uthaata hai,
Kabhi kam ho gaya, Kabhi hai bohat,
Kuch tou woh yaad bhi bohat aya,
Kuch in ankhon mein bhi lahu hai bohat,
Peeney wali aankh hai darkaar,
Aankh ko chaand ka sabuu hai bohat..
