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
