rang juda aahang juda mahkar juda
pahle se ab lagta hai gulzar juda

naghmon ki takhliq ka mausam bit gaya
tuta saz to ho gaya tar se tar juda

be-zari se apna apna jam liye
baitha hai mahfil mein har mai-khwar juda

mila tha pahle darwaze se darwaza
lekin ab diwar se hai diwar juda

yaro main to nikla hun jaan bechne ko
tum koi ab socho karobar juda

sochta hai ek shair bhi ek tajir bhi
lekin sab ki soch ka hai mear juda

kya lena is girgit jaisi duniya se
aae rang nazar jis ka har bar juda

apna to hai zahir-o-baatin ek magar
yaron ki guftar juda kirdar juda

mil jata hai mauqa khuni lahron ko
hathon se jab hote hain patwar juda

kis ne diya hai sada kisi ka sath 'qatil'
ho jaana hai sab ko aakhir-kar juda
