jo sunana chaaho to bol utthenge andhere bhee
na sunana chaaho to dil kee sada sunaee na de
maangane vaalon ko kya izzat o rusvaee se
dene vaalon kee ameeree ka bharam khulata hai
hazaaron saal safar kar ke phir vaheen pahunche
bahut zamaana hua tha hamen zameen se chale
umr bhar milate rahe phir bhee na milane pae
is tarah mil ki mulaaqaat mukammal ho jae
neend ban kar miree aankhon se mire khoon mein utar
rat-jaga khatm ho aur raat mukammal ho jae
thaharee hai to ik chehare pe thaharee rahee barason
bhatakee hai to phir aankh bhatakatee hee rahee hai
har ek lamha kiya qarz zindagee ka ada
kuchh apana haq bhee tha ham par vahee ada na hua
be-barase guzar jaate hain umade hue baadal
jaise unhen mera hee pata yaad nahin hai
miree udaan agar mujh ko neeche aane de
to aasamaan kee gaharaee mein utar jaoon
andhera itana nahin hai ki kuchh dikhaee na de
sukoot aisa nahin hai jo kuchh sunaee na de
