ab kahan dost milen sath nibhane wale
sab ne sikhe hain ab aadab zamane wale

dil jalao ya diye aankhon ke darwaze par
waqt se pahle to aate nahin aane wale

ashk ban ke main nigahon mein teri aaunga
ai mujhe apni nigahon se girane wale

waqt badla to uthate hain ab ungli mujh par
kal talak haq mein mere hath uthane wale

waqt har zakhm ka marham to nahin ban sakta
dard kuchh hote hain ta-umr rulane wale

ek nazar dekh tu majburiyan bhi to meri
ai meri laghzishon par aankh tikane wale

kaun kahta hai bure kaam ka phal bhi hai bura
dekh masnad pe hain masjid ko girane wale

ye siyasat hai ki lanat hai siyasat pe 'sada'
khud hain mujrim bane qanun banane wale
