shab ko dil ka zakhm taza ho gaya
rote rote hi sawera ho gaya

de rahe ho tum sada ab kis liye
shahr mein har shakhs bahra ho gaya

jab khushi milne lagi to sath hi
ek naya khadsha bhi paida ho gaya

kyon na hum tabdil kar dalen ise
ab libas-e-zist maila ho gaya

doston ki gham-gusari ke sabab
apni ruswai ka charcha ho gaya

ham-nawa jitne bhi the bad-zan hue
lijiye phir main akela ho gaya
