muntazir aankhen hain meri sham se
shama raushan hai tumhaare nam se

chhin leta hai sukun shohrat ka shauq
is liye hum rah gae gumnam se

sach ki khatir jaan jati hai to jae
hum nahin darte kisi anjam se

apne man ki baat ab kis se kahun
aaina naraaz hai kal sham se

kya ajab duniya hai ye duniya yahan
log milte hain magar bas kaam se

aisa kuchh ho jae dil tute nahin
sochiyega aap bhi aaram se

mujh se puchho aansuon ki barkaten
mutmain hun ranj-o-gham aalam se
