kis ne kaha aap se meri musibat hai kya
ab ye nadamat hai kyun us ki zarurat hai kya

ab ye tawajjoh hai kyun mere shab-o-roz par
apne shab-o-roz se aap ko fursat hai kya

kaun dikhae mujhe sham se kitni hasin
kaun batae mujhe waqt ki qimat hai kya

itne saman itne shahr ek lagan ek lahr
sat baras chup rahe aur shikayat hai kya

is bhare bazar mein hum to akele 'khizan'
kyun hain mere sath log gham koi daulat hai kya
