aao baitho dard ki baaten karen
raston ki gard ki baaten karen

dil ke ujde gulsitan ko bhul kar
aaj barg-e-zard ki baaten karen

apna dukh-sukh kah ke phir barson ke baad
ghar ke ek ek fard ki baaten karen

surkh phulon ki kahani chhed ke
phir se barg-e-zard ki baaten karen

raushni pichhe shahar ki rah gai
dil ki shama-e-sard ki baaten karen

sochte hain chahta hai dil ye kyon
hum usi be-dard ki baaten karen

gum hue sochon mein 'zeba' kis tarah
bhule-bisre dard ki baaten karen
