kyon ye hasrat thi dil lagane ki
thi na himmat agar nibhane ki

mang kar hum se le liya hota
kya zarurat thi dil churane ki

kaun aaega bhul kar rasta
dil ko kyon zid hai ghar sajaane ki

ab nahin aas kuchh rihai ki
baat chhedo na aashiyane ki

rang tum bhi badalte ho pal-pal
khub taswir ho zamane ki

but ho ka'ba ho ya kalisa ho
hum ko 'adat hai sar jhukane ki

tum ne insaf kuchh kiya aise
go 'adalat ho is zamane ki

kya maza un se ruthne ka 'sada'
jin ko fursat nahin manane ki
