kya kharidoge chaar aane mein
aqlmandi hai ghar na jaane mein

tabsira kar rahe hain duniya par
chand bachche sharab-khane mein

pursish-e-haal kar rahe hain log
kya bigadta hai muskurane mein

ai musawwir ye surkh-ru chehra
aisi taswir is zamane mein

ghar mein andher kar gaya koi
der kar di charagh lane mein

chhup ke baithi hui hai maut kahin
zindagi tere shamiyane mein

be-libasi nasib hai us ka
khwab bunta hai kar-khane mein
