mehr-o-ulfat ka tarana ek fasana ho gaya
mahw-e-hairat hun ki kya se kya zamana ho gaya

shokhiyan bebakiyan sab rafta rafta kam huin
iltifat-e-yar jab se suqiyana ho gaya

dhamkiyon ke sae mein ab desh chal sakta nahin
dao yaro ye siyasat ka purana ho gaya

gardish-e-ayyam ne chhoda kahan la kar mujhe
jo kahani thi meri un ka fasana ho gaya

waqiat-e-umr-e-rafta yaad sab aane lage
zindagi se phir mera rishta purana ho gaya

ek sukun dil ko mila aur ruh ko rahat mili
jab taaruf un se mera ghaebana ho gaya

rok sakte hain kahan wo qimaten petrol ki
tel par dushman ka qabza ghasibana ho gaya

aap ke aate hi ghar mein raunaqen badhne lagin
aaj ka 'bedar' mausam bhi suhana ho gaya
