kya gharaz is se kisi ko kitna hai dil-gir kaun
dekhna hai ye pahan kar mar gaya zanjir kaun

log sharmate hain kyon sar par use rakhte hue
le gaya hai chhin kar dastar ki tauqir kaun

pet ki majburiyan fankar tak bhi aa gain
warna dilbar ki bana kar bechta taswir kaun

meri aankhon ke dariche khun mein tar ho gae
khun mein tar khwab ki batlaega tabir kaun

is farishton ke jahan mein sirf main insan hun
hota phir mere alawa qail-e-taqsir kaun

har kisi ko dastaras hai gardish-e-ayyam tak
maut ke andhe safar ki khinchta taswir kaun

kis ko fursat hai yahan khud-ehtisabi ke liye
dekhta hai 'jaan' apni aankh ka shahtir kaun
