muskura kar khitab karte ho
aadaten kyun kharab karte ho

mar do mujh ko rahm-dil ho kar
kya ye kar-e-sawab karte ho

muflisi aur kis ko kahte hain!
daulaton ka hisab karte ho

sirf ek iltija hai chhoti si
kya use baryab karte ho

hum to tum ko pasand kar baithe
tum kise intikhab karte ho

khar ki nok ko lahu de kar
intizar-e-gulab karte ho

ye nai ehtiyat dekhi hai
aaine se hijab karte ho

kya zarurat hai bahs karne ki
kyun kaleja kabab karte ho

ho chuka jo hisab hona tha
aur ab kya hisab karte ho

ek din ai 'adam' na pi to kya
roz shaghl-e-sharab karte ho

kitne be-rahm ho 'adam' tum bhi
zikr-e-ahd-e-shabab karte ho

ho kisi ki khushi gar is mein 'adam'
jurm ka irtikab karte ho
