Parda nashinon ke' shehar mein

Parda nashinon ke' shehar mein,

Parda nashinon ke' beech,

Kitni bechaini mehsoos hoti hai.

Hum khwab hi dekhte' rehte' hain unn sab ki khubsoorti ka,

Magar woh beparda hone ka naam hi nahi letin hai.

Meri yeh aarzoo mujhe' kisi junoon mein qaid kar rahi hai,

Meri yeh junoon mujhe' kisi deewanepan ki taraf le' jaa rahi hai.

Kya hoga ab mera bhi anjaam?

Yeh soch kar mein raatein yoonhi guzaarta hoon.

Baar baar asmaan ki taraf dekhta hoon,

Badalon ke peeche' chupa woh chand mujhe' yeh ahsaas dilata hai,

 “ kya dhoond rahe' ho tum unn parda nashinon mein?

Zara meri taraf bhi dekh lo,

Ahsaas ho jayega tumhe' khubsoorati ke' naye' andaaz ka.”
