ghalat-fahmi hai tum ko hum tumhaare to nahin hain
hamari aankh mein aise ishaare to nahin hain

hamare ho to phir aao hamara sath bhi do
masail zindagi ke sab hamare to nahin hain

udasi ko udasi kyun nahin taslim karte
meri palkon pe aansu hain sitare to nahin hain

main bahar khwab se aa bhi gai to kya karungi
meri duniya mein kuchh achchhe nazare to nahin hain

mahaz-arai jari hai abhi so lad rahe hain
abhi hum lad rahe hain jang haare to nahin hain

magar ye kaise aalam aa rahe hain yaad mujh ko
ki aise roz-o-shab main ne guzare to nahin hain

pari kahte ho mujh ko aur kabhi tum hur sahab
hamare khal-o-khad kuchh itne pyare to nahin hain
