shair ho itraate kyon ho
sher sunao gate kyon ho

aaine ko samne rakh kar
tum aakhir sharmate kyon ho

jo kahna hai sach sach kah do
suli se ghabraate kyon ho

main hun sidha-sada mujh ko
baaton mein uljhate kyon ho

sach ka dawa karne walo
jhuti qasmen khate kyon ho

paimanon mein aag chhupi hai
maikhane mein jate kyon ho

tark-e-talluq chhodo 'dilkash'
milne se katraate kyon ho
