makānoñ ke nagar meñ ham agar kuchh ghar banā lete
to apnī bastiyoñ ko sovarg se baḌh kar banā lete
hameñ apne ilāqoñ se mohabbat ho nahīñ paa.ī
vagarna zindagī ko aur bhī behtar banā lete
samay se laḌ rahe the aur lamhe kar diye barbād
hameñ karnā ye thā lamhāt kā lashkar banā lete
ġhanīmat hai ki jangal ke usūloñ ko nahīñ maanā
vagarna āshiyānoñ ko ajā.ib-ghar banā lete
agar saudā hī karnā thā use to bol to detā
mohabbat ke liye ham dil ko bhī daftar banā lete
havas hairāñ na kar paatī talab tanhā na kar paatī
agar ham hasratoñ ko pyaar kā sāgar banā lete
kahīñ aisā jo ho paatā ki laḌte hī nahīñ ham tum
bahut mumkin thā har kankar ko shīv-shañkar banā lete
makanon ke nagar mein hum agar kuchh ghar bana lete
to apni bastiyon ko sowarg se baDh kar bana lete
hamein apne ilaqon se mohabbat ho nahin pai
wagarna zindagi ko aur bhi behtar bana lete
samay se laD rahe the aur lamhe kar diye barbaad
hamein karna ye tha lamhat ka lashkar bana lete
ghanimat hai ki jangal ke usulon ko nahin mana
wagarna aashiyanon ko ajaib-ghar bana lete
agar sauda hi karna tha use to bol to deta
mohabbat ke liye hum dil ko bhi daftar bana lete
hawas hairan na kar pati talab tanha na kar pati
agar hum hasraton ko pyar ka sagar bana lete
kahin aisa jo ho pata ki laDte hi nahin hum tum
bahut mumkin tha har kankar ko shiw-shankar bana lete
