ek muamma hai wo waise kitna bhola-bhaala hai
ek ek rang anokha us ka har andaz nirala hai

shikwa hai main chup hun lekin itna hai malum mujhe
mere phul se lafzon se wo kante chunne wala hai

istifham ke jangal mein kab kaun kahan kyon kaisa kya
soch mein khud ko gum paya hai jab se hosh sanbhaala hai

duniya mein dekha hai har su jhut kapat chhal makr-o-fareb
aur ye sunne mein aaya hai jhute ka munh kala hai

koi samjha de sahil par matam karne walon ko
apni marzi se kashti ko is girdab mein dala hai

apne apne taur pe ahl-e-fikr ne us ko socha hai
main bas itna kahti hun ye maut ka ek niwala hai
