mana ki zalzala tha yahan kam bahut hi kam
basti mein bach gae the makan kam bahut hi kam

mere lahu ka zaiqa chakhta raha tha dard
tanhaiyan thin raat jahan kam bahut hi kam

kanton ko sinchti rahi parchhaiyon ki fasl
jab dhup ka tha nam-o-nishan kam bahut hi kam

aangan mein dhup dhup ko odhe udasiyan
ghar mein the zindagi ke nishan kam bahut hi kam

mafluj raat karb ke bistar pe let kar
karti hai ab to aah-o-fughan kam bahut hi kam

kyun doston ki bhid se ghabra na jae dil
dushman to rah gae hain yahan kam bahut hi kam

hum jab se pattharon ki tijarat mein lag gae
hai dosti-e-shisha-garan kam bahut hi kam

itni aziyaton se guzarne ke baad 'rind'
khud par hai zindagi ka guman kam bahut hi kam
