purane ahd ke sikke kahan chala rahe ho
wafa khulus mohabbat ye kya suna rahe ho

bhala tum itne aziyyat-pasand kab se hue
jo baat baat pe yun qahqahe laga rahe ho

safar hi khana-ba-doshon ko zeb deta hai
sarae kafi hai ghar-bar kyon bana rahe ho

kiran kiran ko taraste hain mere ganw ke log
aur ek tum ki nadi mein diye baha rahe ho

tumhaari aankh mein ek be-kanar hasrat hai
tum is se pahle kahin aur mubtala rahe ho

koi to ho jo gale se laga ke puchhe mujhe
batao 'badr' meri jaan kya chhupa rahe ho
