dhaalta hun sher mein tanhaiyon ko
dhundhta hun us mein phir parchhaiyon ko

khokhli aankhon se mujh ko ghurti hain
dekh kar darta hun main pahnaiyon ko

wo burai sab se meri kar rahe hain
kyun nahin karte bayan achchhaiyon ko

shahr mein to qatl sab ka ho chuka hai
bhej do ab dasht mein balwaion ko

dil ki bhatti ye na hon to jal hi jae
roko mat tum ashk ki purwaiyon ko

de rahi hain ek se ek nazzara 'mamun'
koste ho kyun tum in tanhaiyon ko
