sachchi baaten kyon karte ho
is duniya mein kyon baste ho

apni qimat tolo molo
aakhir itne kyon saste ho

kaisa sadma tum par guzra
gum-sum gum-sum kyon rahte ho

roe pahle ab hanste ho
kuchh to bolo kyon hanste ho

rasta kis ka kab tak takna
tanha jao kyon darte ho

apne dukh ki lapten kam hain
ghair ke dukh mein kyon balte ho

bujhna thahra bujh bhi jao
tim-tim tim-tim kyon jalte ho

tum to 'rizwan' aahan-gar the
pighle kyunkar kyon bahte ho
