main sach kahun pas-e-diwar jhut bolte hain
mere khilaf mere yar jhut bolte hain

mili hai jab se unhen bolne ki aazadi
tamam shahr ke akhbar jhut bolte hain

main mar chuka hun mujhe kyun yaqin nahin aata
to kya ye mere aza-dar jhut bolte hain

ye shahr-e-ishq bahut jald ujadne wala hai
dukan-dar o kharidar jhut bolte hain

bata rahi hai ye taqrib-e-mimbar-o-mehrab
ki muttaqi o riya-kar jhut bolte hain

qadam qadam pe nai dastan sunate log
qadam qadam pe kai bar jhut bolte hain

main sochta hun ki dam len to main unhen tokun
magar ye log lagatar jhut bolte hain

hamare shahr mein 'ami' munafiqat hai bahut
makin kya dar-o-diwar jhut bolte hain
