muddaten ho gai hain chup rahte
koi sunta to hum bhi kuchh kahte

jal gaya khushk ho ke daman-e-dil
ashk aankhon se aur kya bahte

baat ki aur munh ko aaya jigar
is se behtar yahi tha chup rahte

hum ko jaldi ne maut ki mara
aur jite to aur gham sahte

sab hi sunte tumhaari ai 'mahshar'
koi kahne ki baat agar kahte
