aadat meri duniya se chhupane ki nahin thi
wo baat bhi kah di jo batane ki nahin thi

main khush hun bahut gard ko aaine pe rakh kar
di wo mujhe surat jo dikhane ki nahin thi

hum kha gae dhoka teri aankhon ki nami se
wo chot dikha di jo dikhane ki nahin thi

achchha hua nind aa gai arbab-e-wafa ko
aage ye kahani bhi sunane ki nahin thi

yun dil ko kiya shoala-e-gham tere hawale
is ghar mein koi chiz bachane ki nahin thi

kuchh is liye apna na saka is ko zamana
'saulat' ki jo aadat thi zamane ki nahin thi
