kahni hai koi baat to mujhse kaha karen

kahni hai koi baat to mujh se kaha karen
har 'am-o-tam se na mera tazkira karen
kahti hai shab-nawardi ki tanha guzaren raat
tanhai kah rahi hai chalo rabta karen


bashindagan-e-shahr hain pahle se bad-guman
rai ko dhun ke aur na parbat khada karen
bahrupiyon ke shahr mein khoya hai mera dost
mardum-shanas jo bhi hain chal kar pata karen


zindan-e-ishtiyaq mein jis ne guzari hai
aankhon ko us ke chum len panchhi riha karen
baitha hai ek wahshi parinda jo ped par
wo chahta hai ruh ko tan se juda karen


hum ko udasiyon se pare aur bhi hain kaam
kyunkar darun-e-zat se har dam lada karen
