jin ke panw bhi nahin hain un ko sar kahte hain log
kya zamana hai ki paudon ko shajar kahte hain log

ek aansu bhi na tapka aaj tak jis aankh se
kya qayamat hai usi ko chashm-e-tar kahte hain log

ab zamane ki kasauti ka yahi mear hai
sip se nikla nahin phir bhi guhar kahte hain log

maslahat ki bediyon mein jab se jakdi hai zaban
hum nazar walon ko aksar kam nazar kahte hain log

is liye har aankh se ab nind rukhsat ho gai
din ki nakaami ka qissa raat bhar kahte hain log

kya zamana aa gaya hai pur-sukun lahje mein ab
chaar din ki chandni ko ham-safar kahte hain log

jis ki surat dekh kar kuchh log pagal ho gae
kuchh na kuchh hum par bhi us ka hai asar kahte hain log

farq kya padta hai is se 'tashna' teri zat par
kahne de jal kar tujhe kuchh bhi agar kahte hain log
