Ye kaisi ghaDi hai

ye kaisi ghaDi hai
zamani tasalsul ka pahiya ghuma kar

yahan waqt ko
jaise fitrat se kaTa gaya hai

KHalijen jo rakhi gain
nur-o-zulmat ke mabain

in sab ko paTa gaya hai
samay raat ka hai

magar dhup
suraj se le kar ijazat

hamare sirhane khaDi hai
ye kaisi ghaDi hai

ye kaisi ghaDi hai
ki jaise hamare sirhane ka

bilkul hamari hi taqwim ka
aur hamare zamane ka

ek taq hai
jis pe koi muqaddas sahifa nahin

ek riya-kar mashal dhari hai
musaffa surahi mein

aab samawi nahin
reg-e-isyan bhari hai

bahishti daraKHton ke
pak aur ras asmar mein

koi nok-e-najasat gaDi hai
KHudaya

tere nek bandon pe
uftad kaisi paDi hai

ye kaisi ghaDi hai
