aaNkhoN ka raNg, baat ka lehja badal gayaa
vo shaKhs ek shaam meiN kitnaa badal gayaa
kuch din to mera aks raha aaii?ney pe naqsh
phir yuuN huaa, ke khud mera chehraa badal gayaa
koyii bhi chiiz apni jagah par nahiN rahii
jaate hii ek shaKhs ke, kyaa kyaa badal gayaa
ik sarKhushi ki mauj ne kaisa kiyaa kamaal
wo bay-nayaaz saaraa ka saaraa badal gayaa
uTth kar chalaa gayaa koii waqfe ke darmiyaaN
pardaa uThaa to saara tamashaa badal gayaa
hairat se saare lafz use dekhte rahey
baatoN meN apni baat ko kaisaa badal gayaa
kehne ko ek sehn meN diivaar hii bani
ghar ki fazaa, makaan ka naqsha badal gayaa
shaayad wafa kay khel se uktaa gayaa tha vo
manzil kay paas aake jo rasta badal gayaa
qaayem kisii bhi haal pay duniya nahiN rahi
ta?biir kho gayii kabhi sapnaa badal gayaa
