hamin tak rah gaya qissa hamara
kisi ne khat nahin khola hamara

padhai chal rahi hai zindagi ki
abhi utra nahin basta hamara

muafi aur itni si khata par
saza se kaam chal jata hamara

kisi ko phir bhi mahnge lag rahe the
faqat sanson ka kharcha tha hamara

yahin tak is shikayat ko na samjho
khuda tak jaega jhagda hamara

taraf-dari nahin kar pae dil ki
akela pad gaya banda hamara

taaruf kya kara aae kisi se
usi ke sath hai saya hamara

nahin the jashn-e-yaad-e-yar mein hum
so ghar par aa gaya hissa hamara

hamein bhi chahiye tanhai 'shaariq'
samajhta hi nahin saya hamara
