rah mein kante meri bote rahe
kyon sitam ijad ye hote rahe

doston ke bhes mein sayyaad the
dosti ka bhi bharam khote rahe

chaar tinkon ka mera tha aashiyan
bijliyan girti thin hum rote rahe

dushmani kya mujh se thi ai aasman
ghar mera jalta tha wo sote rahe

aasman wale bhi hairan the magar
dekh kar wo dam-ba-khud hote rahe

hum ko bhi apni khudi par naz tha
chup rahe aur imtihan hote rahe
