Wo shakhs ek shaam mein kitna badal gaya

Aankhon ka rang, baat ka lehja badal gaya

Wo shakhs ek shaam mein kitna badal gaya

Kuch din to mera aks raha aaii'ne pe naqsh

Phir yun huaa, ke khud mera chehra badal gaya

Jab apne apne haal pe hum tum na reh sake

To kyaa hua jo ham se zammana badal gaya

Qadmon talay jo reit bichhi thi wo chal pari

Us ne churaya haath to sehra badal gaya

Koi bhi cheez apni jagah par nahin rahi

Jaate hi ek shakhs ke, kya kya badal gaya

Ik sarkhashi ki mauj ne kaisa kiya kamaal

Wo be-niyaaz sara ka sara badal gaya

Uth kar chala gaya koi waqfe ke darmiyaan

Pardaa uthaa to saara tamasha badal gayaa

Hairat se saare lafz usey dekhte rahe

Baaton mein apni baat ko kaisa badal gaya

Kehne ko ek sehn mein deevaar hi bani

Is ghar ki fazaa, makaan ka naqsha badal gaya

Shaayad wafa kay khel se uktaa gayaa tha wo

Manzil kay paas aa ke jo rasta badal gaya

Qaayem kisi bhi haal pe duniya nahin rahi

Aitabaar kho gayi kabhi sapna badal gaya

Manzar ka rang asl mein saaya tha rang ka

Jis ne use jidhar say bhi dekha, badal gaya

Andar ke mausmoun ki khabar us ko ho gayi

Us nau-bahaar-e-naaz ka chehra badal gaya

Aankhon mein jitne ashk the jugnu se ban gaye

Wo muskuraya aur meri duniya badal gaya

Apni galii mein apna hi ghar dhundte hain log

Amjad yeh kaun shehr ka naqsha badal gaya!
