baat be-baat pe sab shor machane lage hain

baat be-baat pe sab shor machane lage hain
sar pe suraj hai magar dip jalane lage hain
hum ne palkon pe saja rakkha tha jin khwabon ko
ek ek kar ke sabhi khwab thikane lage hain


jin ki shiddat se zarurat thi zamin ko wo log
aasmanon pe zamin chhod ke jaane lage hain
tanz se un ki taraf dekhti rahti hai ye khalq
'ishq mein sara asasa jo lutane lage hain


dekhte dekhte kya ho gai apni duniya
jo hansate the wahi log rulane lage hain
hum se khush duniya hai ghar wale bhi khush hain hum se
she'r bhi kahte hain paise bhi kamane lage hain


hum se katra ke guzar jate the sab ahl-e-nazar
ab jidhar jate hain wo bhi udhar aane lage hain
baadshahi ka hai hum mein na faqiri ka hunar
phir bhi kyon log hamein milne ko aane lage hain
