din-dari kar rahe the
hoshiyari kar rahe the

log apne halke-pan se
khud ko bhaari kar rahe the

lazmi har kaam apna
ikhtiyari kar rahe the

phul jaise log hum par
sang-bari kar rahe the

jama tute khwab ki bas
rezgari kar rahe the

chahte the jo na rona
aah-o-zari kar rahe the

unche qad ke sae mujh mein
khauf tari kar rahe the

tum hi aadhi kar rahe ho
hum to sari kar rahe the

kar rahe the shairi aur
aabshaari kar rahe the
