kya hasin raat hai is raat se darte kyun ho
aa gae ho to mulaqat se darte kyun ho

nam aata hai mera jab bhi kisi mahfil mein
ye batao ki sawalat se darte kyun ho

dil lubhane ke bhi andaz hua karte hain
mast aankhon ke ishaaraat se darte kyun ho

kai barsat ke mausam hain meri aankhon mein
aati jati hui barsat se darte kyun ho

log achchhon ko bhi duniya mein bura kahte hain
kya kahega koi is baat se darte kyun ho

zindagi milti hai insan ko jine ke liye
muskuraate raho sadmat se darte kyun ho

zikr-e-mazi ke tasawwur se pareshan ho kar
zinda rahna hai to haalat se darte kyun ho
