aaj mehndi lagae baithe hain
khub wo rang lae baithe hain

mere aate hi ho gae barham
kuchh kasi ke sikhae baithe hain

tegh khinchi hai qatl par mere
hath mujh se uthae baithe hain

main shikayat jafa ki karta hun
chupke wo sar jhukae baithe hain

dum churae hue pade hain hum
wo jo baalin pe aae baithe hain

imtihan ko kaha to bole wo
hum tumhein aazmae baithe hain

kas ko nazron se aaj utarenge
kyun wo tewari chadhae baithe hain

dekhiye kab wo shama-ru aae
sham se lau lagae baithe hain

talna wasl ka jo hai manzur
khud se khud munh thuthae baithe hain

sada-pan mein hazar jauban hai
baal khole nahae baithe hain

kaun pahlu se uth gaya 'anjum'
aap kyun dil dabae baithe hain
