Kal Jahan Diwar Thi Hai Aaj Ek Dar Dekhiye
kal jahan diwar thi hai aaj ek dar dekhiye
kya samai thi bhala diwane ke sar dekhiye
pur-sukun lagti hai kitni jhil ke pani pe bat
pairon ki be-tabiyan pani ke andar dekhiye
chhoD kar jis ko gae the aap koi aur tha
ab main koi aur hun wapas to aa kar dekhiye
zehn-e-insani idhar aafaq ki wusat udhar
ek manzar hai yahan andar ki bahar dekhiye
aql ye kahti duniya milti hai bazar mein
dil magar ye kahta hai kuchh aur behtar dekhiye
