ye alag baat ki KHaamosh khade rahte hain phir bhi jo log bade hain vo bade rahte hain

hazaaron saal nargis apni be-noori pe roti hai badi mushkil se hota hai chaman men deeda-war paida

kitne aish se rahte honge kitne itraate honge jaane kaise log vo honge jo us ko bhaate honge

uljh karke teri agar men yuñ aabaad ho jaaun ki jaise lucknow ka main ameenabad ho jaaun main yamuna ki tarah tanhaa nihaaru taaj ko kab tak koi ganga mile to main ilahaabad ho jaaun

tujhe na aayengi muflis ki mushkilaat samajh main chhote logon ke ghar ka badaa hoon baat samajh

raushni aadhi idhar aadhi udhar ik diya rakha hai deewaron ke beech

aziz itnaa hi rakho ki jee sambhal jaa.e ab is qadar bhi na chaaho ki dam nikal jaa.e
