ghalatiyan apni na hon phir bhi manane ka hunar
itna aasan nahin khud ko mitane ka hunar

yaadon ke sanpon ko qabu mein karun kaise main
main ne sikha hi nahin bin bajaane ka hunar

mere chehre ki hansi mein pata khushiyon ka na dhundh
muddaton baad mila dard chhupane ka hunar

mere apnon ne tarashi meri izzat ki qamis
sab ko aata hai yahan qainchi chalane ka hunar

aag chingari dhuan kuchh na tha dil phir bhi jala
kis ne sikhlaya tumhein aise jalane ka hunar

itne sapne na dikha jhuti adakari chhod
pattharon ko na sikha ghas ugane ka hunar

aankhen chehra zaban sab be-zaban ho jate hain
jaan le lega teri raaz chhupane ka hunar

qatl karna hai agar jalte hue suraj ko
sikh lo barf ki shamshir banane ka hunar
