ज़र्रा ज़र्रा मेरी रेत है
तारा तारा मेरी गरज़
भागे भागे इस शहर में
उड़ती उड़ती आई खबर

जो ख़्याल हैं
यहाँ जाल हैं
फँसते फँसाते
यहीं तोड़ देंगे दम

और तू है खूबसूरत
और तू है खूबसूरत

छुपी छुपी सी कई बातें हैं
परे परे बत्तियों के भी रातें हैं
दिल दिल कभी आज़ाद था
बिट बिट डेटा का ना राज था

ना थीं कारें
सरकारें
मिट्टी में था अभी
शहर दफ़न

और तू है खूबसूरत
और तू है खूबसूरत

पूरी ग़ुलामी
याँ आधी आज़ादी
शहर याँ सिफ़र
हैं मुमकिन यहाँ
दो ही मंज़र

पर तू है खूबसूरत
पर तू है खूबसूरत
----------
My worth’s but grains of sand
My desire, the stars
In this ever-frantic city
A news came in from afar

The very thoughts
Are the web here
Trapper and the trapped
In a struggle desperate
It’s here they'll breathe their last

And you're beautiful

Many things lay hidden here
Like beyond the neon’s the night
Each heart here roamed free
Before data bits were zeitgeist

No cars here
Or states even
The city lay still
Inside alluvium

And you're beautiful

A freedom half
Or slavery complete
City or nothing
Take it or leave

But you're beautiful

The chorus lyrics just popped up in my head late one night as I climbed the stairs to my house. I immediately recorded them, whispering into the fancy phone I'd been gifted.
