Subh Ka Manzar Hai Lekin Gul Koi Taza Nahin

subh ka manzar hai lekin gul koi taza nahin

ru-e-gulshan par kahin bhi os ka ghaza nahin

TuT kar hum chahne walon se jab bichhaDenge aap

hum hi hum bikhrenge lekin misl-shiraaza nahin

ghaar walon ki tarah nikla hai wo kamre se aaj

us ko is duniya ki tabdili ka andaza nahin

kuchh na kuchh kahte to rahte hain yahan hum log ji

phir bhi is shahr-e-butan mein kai aawaza nahin

is imarat ke muqaddar ki lakiron mein kahin

khiDkiyan to hain magar 'misdaq' darwaza nahin
