badle andaz tumhaare nahin achchhe lagte

badle andaz tumhaare nahin achchhe lagte
ghair ko chhup ke ishaare nahin achchhe lagte
jo bhi kahna hai khule dil se sar-e-am kaho
aankhon aankhon mein ishaare nahin achchhe lagte


kuchh amal karke dikhao to koi baat bane
aae din khokhle nare nahin achchhe lagte
hum ko tufan se ulajhne mein maza aata hai
aur khamosh kinare nahin achchhe lagte


haal-e-mazlum pe afsos ke izhaar ke baad
un ke zalim ko ishaare nahin achchhe lagte
jo andheron mein pala aur badha ho 'athar'
us ko ye chand sitare nahin achchhe lagte
