faqir mauji kharab haalon ka kya banega
ye ishq karti udas naslon ka kya banega

hamare purkhon ne hum se behtar guzar li hai
main sochta hun hamare bachchon ka kya banega

hamare jismon ka khak hona to thik hai par
tumhaari aankhon tumhaare honton ka kya banega

hamein to rone mein koi diqqat nahin hai lekin
wo puchhna tha ki rone walon ka kya banega

mazaq udate hain log farzi kahaniyon ka
ki sidhe-sade se un buzurgon ka kya banega

talash karti hain is badan ki bashaaraton ko
haqir sochon haris banhon ka kya banega

wo husn aise hi kharch hota raha to sahir
hamari nazmon hamari ghazlon ka kya banega
