Seene main jalan ankhon main tufaan sa kyun hai,

Seene main jalan ankhon main tufaan sa kyun hai,
Iss sheher main har shakss pareshaan sa kyun hai,

Dil hai to dharrakne ka bahaana koi dhoondhe,
Pathar ki tarah be-hiss o be-jaan sa kyun hai,

Tanhaayi ki yeh kaun si manzil hai rafiqo,
Ta hadh-e-nazar ek bayabaan sa kyuun hai,

Hum ne to koi baat nikaali nahin gham ki,
Woh zuud-pashemaan pashemaan sa kyun hai,

Kya koi naii baat nazar aati hai hum main,
Aayina hamen dekh ke hairaan sa kyun hai..
