itne chup kyun ho majra kya hai
aaj 'shair' tumhein hua kya hai

waqia ye hai the isi qabil
hum jo ruswa hue bura kya hai

hasil-e-kaenat hai is mein
mere saghar ko dekhta kya hai

dil ki baaten suno nigahon se
ye na puchho ki muddaa kya hai

teri ek ek ada ne lut liya
be-wafai hai kya wafa kya hai

samne apne aaina rakh lo
ye na dekho mujhe hua kya hai

zarra zarra jawab de dega
puchhiye to zara khuda kya hai

ab to 'shair' zamana hai dushman
rahzan kya hai rahnuma kya hai
