koi shikwa to zer-e-lab hoga
kuchh khamoshi ka bhi sabab hoga

main bhi hun bazm mein raqib bhi hai
aakhiri faisla to ab hoga

aaen mai-khane mein kabhi waiz
hur bhi hogi aur sab hoga

bol ai mere dil ki tariki
tera suraj tulua kab hoga

sunta hoga sadaen us dil ki
sham-e-tanhai mein wo jab hoga

kab chhatengi ye badliyan gham ki
saf matla ye 'josh' kab hoga
