dil ka mausam zard ho to kuchh bhala lagta nahin
koi manzar koi chehra khushnuma lagta nahin

dhundle dhundle ajnabi se log aate hain nazar
muddaton ka aashna bhi aashna lagta nahin

sakht mushkil ho gaya hai imtiyaz-e-khub-o-zisht
phul si poshak mein bad-khu bura lagta nahin

lut kar aate nahin kyun aashiyanon ki taraf
bhole-bhaale panchhiyon ka kuchh pata lagta nahin

yasiyat jab phail jae matla-e-afkar par
rasta koi bhi apna rasta lagta nahin

iltija ki tahniyan hoti nahin hain kyun hari
kyun samar meri dua mein ai khuda lagta nahin
