ro ro ke ghairon ko hansana hum bhi kitne pagal hain
yun apnon ko aur rulana hum bhi kitne pagal hain

sachchon ko jhuta gardana hum bhi kitne pagal hain
aur jhuton ko sachcha jaana hum bhi kitne pagal hain

aql-o-khirad ne aksar toka un ki baat nahin mani
apne dil ka kahna mana hum bhi kitne pagal hain

apne ghar ko aag laga kar un ke dar pe aa baithe
beganon ko apna jaana hum bhi kitne pagal hain

ahl-e-khirad ko pagal jaana ahl-e-junun ko diwana
apne ko samjha farzana hum bhi kitne pagal hain

jab un ki mahfil mein baithe hukm mila uth jaane ka
phir bhi rakkha aana-jaana hum bhi kitne pagal hain

ghair ko apna jaana 'alim' thande dil se baat suni
apnon ko samjha begana hum bhi kitne pagal hain
