wo udhar sogwar baithe hain
hum idhar sharmsar baithe hain

ham-nawa ho gae wo ghairon ke
karke hum ikhtiyar baithe hain

daur-e-hazir mein naujawan lakhon
talib-e-rozgar baithe hain

bewafa aaj tere wade par
karke hum eatibar baithe hain

lut gae be-khudi mein hum aise
ban ke duniya pe bar baithe hain

aaj ho izn-e-am ai saqi
muntazir baada-khwar baithe hain

koi puchhe 'sharar' ye un se
aaj kyon ashk-bar baithe hain
