na wo iqrar karta hai na wo inkar karta hai
hamein phir bhi guman hai wo hamin se pyar karta hai

main us ke kis sitam ki surkhiyan akhbar mein dekhun
wo zalim hai magar har zulm se inkar karta hai

munderon se koi manus si aawaz aati hai
koi to yaad hum ko bhi pas-e-diwar karta hai

ye us ke pyar ki baaten faqat qisse purane hain
bhala kachche ghade par kaun dariya par karta hai

hamein ye dukh ki wo aksar kai mausam nahin milta
magar milne ka wada hum se wo har bar karta hai

'hassan' raaton ko jab sab log mithi nind sote hain
to ek khwab-ashna chehra hamein bedar karta hai
