apna ghar bazar mein kyun rakh diya
waqia akhbar mein kyun rakh diya

khwab ki apni bhi ek tauqir hai
dida-e-bedar mein kyun rakh diya

khel mein khana badalne ke liye
apna mohara haar mein kyun rakh diya

sar bachane tak to shayad thik ho
khauf ye dastar mein kyun rakh diya

nind na aana ye raaton ko 'nishat'
dil ko is aazar mein kyun rakh diya
