Parinda qaid main qul aasman bhool geya..

Parinda qaid main qul aasmaan bhool geya,
Rihaa to ho geya lekin uRRan bhool geya,

Mere shikaar ko tarkash main teer laya magar,
Woh meri jaan ka dushman kamaan bhool geya,

Usay to yaad hai sara jahan mere siva,
Main us yaad main sara jahan bhool geya,

Woh shakhss zindagi bhar ka thaka hua tha magar,
Jo paaon qabar main rakhe thakaan bhool geya,

Ghareeb-e-shehr ne rakhi hai aabru warna,
Ameer-e-shehr to urdu zabaan bhool geya,

Tamam shehr ka naqsha banane wala raza,
Junoon-e-shauq main apna makaan bhool geya..
