log kahte hain ki suraj mein andhera kyun hai
dhup nikli hai ghalat baat ka charcha kyun hai

zindagi se nahin jab tum ko koi dilchaspi
chand lamhon ki masarrat ka taqaza kyun hai

padhne walon ke dilon par ho sadaqat ka asar
aisi tahrir wo likhta hai to likhta kyun hai

apne markaz pe jise laut kar aana hi pada
dekh kar aaina ab chehra chhupta kyun hai

dar raha hun ki musibat na kahin aa jae
zehn mein tezi se ehsas ye ubhra kyun hai

mujh se nafrat hai to izhaar kabhi bhi na kiya
wo farishta hai to kuchh kahne se darta kyun hai

yaad hogi tumhein pahle ki har ek baat 'hasir'
phir mohabbat se use tum ne nawaza kyun hai
