sham se pahle lauT aane ki baat karo

sham se pahle laut aane ki baat karo
in logon ko tarkhane ki baat karo
mere liye tamir karo kyon taj-mahal
mere liye ek kashane ki baat karo


aae ho to baith hi jao fursat se
ab na kabhi wapas jaane ki baat karo
un aankhon ko misl-e-sitara bhi na kaho
jam ki mai ki paimane ki baat karo


wo to mahalle tak aane se the bezar
un ko apne ghar lane ki baat karo
hum ko apne aap se logo bair nahin
tum hi un ke sharmane ki baat karo


sath kisi din thahroge tanhai mein
phir na mujhe tum bahlane ki baat karo
main is shahr mein aaya tha begana tha
mujh ko kabhi tum apnane ki baat karo


aate jate apni umr kati 'iraj'
ab koi din sustane ki baat karo
