mujhe aazad kar do na sabhi pur-soz nalon se

mujhe aazad kar do na sabhi pur-soz nalon se
meri ai kham-zada qismat dukhon ki sakht chaalon se
kahan se sabr laen hum kahan ab aur jaen hum
bahut hi zakhm pae hain are in husn walon se


kisi ko soch kar kaise kisi ki soch se niklen
bahut bechain rahte hain kai aise sawalon se
ye hum se ruthne wale manae ab nahin jate
bahut ukta gae hain hum manane ke khayalon se


khuda ka khauf khao kuchh daro us zat se logo
mujhe ab mat satao nit-nai gahri ye chaalon se
koi na-mehrban jab hai banega mehrban kaise
isi uljhan mein uljhe hain guzishta aath salon se


kisi ka kore kaghaz par banaya aks tha 'kashif'
ki khushbu ab bhi uthti hai usi ke kale baalon se
