taziyat ki khokhli hai rasm jari aaj-kal
is tarah se ho rahi hai gham-gusari aaj-kal

log nange panw hain aur kirchiyan hain farsh par
aur is par maut ka hai raqs jari aaj-kal

shauq hai hum ko tamasha dekhne ka aur yahan
rahnuma bhi mil gae hain kuchh madari aaj-kal

ab nisab-e-ishq mein shamil nahin mehr-o-wafa
ho gae hain ye mazamin ikhtiyari aaj-kal

jit par us ka yaqin pukhta hua ye dekh kar
aa rahi hai nafraton mein paedari aaj-kal

ye kaha tha man se wo man rakhta hai mera
ho rahi hai ja-ba-ja par sharmsari aaj-kal

muddaton ke baad wo paikar hua hai mehrban
hai magar parhez-gari hum pe tari aaj-kal

bakht kya jage mere duniya shanasa ho gai
sab ki mujh se ho gai hai rishtedari aaj-kal

zindagi kamyab hone ka khasara ye bhi hai
qatilon mein badh gai be-roz-gari aaj-kal
