nihayat inkisari aajizi se baat karte hain
hum un se jab wo hum se be-rukhi se baat karte hain

hamare sath ho to mukhtasar si baat hoti hai
chala karti hai pahron jab kisi se baat karte hain

hamein kahte hain dekho bhai kisi se baat mat karna
aur us par khud jo milta hai usi se baat karte hain

tumhin ho ek jin ko baat karne ka saliqa hai
hamin hain ek jo be-hudgi se baat karte hain

hue jate ho kyun kapdon se bahar ghair ki san kar
zara baitho tasalli dil-jami se baat karte hain

kisi se baat karte hain kisi ki baat hoti hai
are bawa tumhaari kab kisi se baat karte hain

badhae dosti ka hath dushman bhi tah-e-dil se
laga lete hain sine se khushi se baat karte hain

akele the taraste the kisi se baat karne ko
to hum ne socha aao 'shad' hi se baat karte hain
