log duniya mein hain sab aag lagane wale

log duniya mein hain sab aag lagane wale
ek hum hi hain faqat aag bujhane wale
hum to har baat mein hain sab ko hansane wale
raat bhar jag ke duniya ko sulane wale


aadmi hum ko rulane ko tule hain lekin
khud hi ro dete hain wo hum ko rulane wale
wo chale aaj to kal hum bhi chale jaenge
wo gae din ko to hum raat ko jaane wale


thi wo kuchh dastan aisi ki sunai ro kar
warna hum to nahin kuchh ro ke sunane wale
ghota-zan pa hi gae gauhar-e-maqsad 'saqi'
khak malte hi rahe khak udane wale
