gale hum kya milen us aadmi se
jo rakhta hi nahin ulfat kisi se

shikayat aap ko hum se baja hai
magar majbur hain hum dil-lagi se

hamein bhi ghar ki zimmedariyan hain
unhen fursat bhi kab hai naukri se

usi dam ho gai hairan duniya
khule jab raaz us ki diary se

uthin hain ungliyan chaaron taraf se
main guzra jab kabhi teri gali se

zamana le raha hai aaj ibarat
tumhaari aur hamari dosti se

kahan tak yaad rakkhenge wo 'arif'
koi wada kiya tha kal kisi se
