un ke is kufr-e-bayan se kitne afsane bane hain
aap diwane nahin hain aap diwane bane hain

jab hawa ka rukh zara badla to afsane bane hain
khun ka rishta tha jin se wo bhi begane bane hain

hum to nam-e-dost ko gin gin ke lena kufr samjhe
zahidon ke waste tasbih ke dane bane hain

husn ka jazb-o-asar kya aaina-saman nahin hai
shama nadida hai lekin log parwane bane hain

maut se takra ke jina un ki shan-e-zindagi hai
harche baada-baad kahne wale diwane bane hain

inqilab-e-waqt se pahle ki duniya ab kahan hai
jin mein raqsan chandni thi wo siyah-khane bane hain

hum mein kuchh apni jagah hain danish-o-binish se aari
aur banne ka ye aalam hai ki farzane bane hain

bahs hai is masale par khalwaton mein jalwaton mein
kis ne diwana banaya kitne diwane bane hain

jis tarah har phul ki khushbu alag rangat juda hai
fitrat-e-insan bhi yunhi apne begane bane hain

us ke hote saghar-o-sahba ki gunjaish nahin hai
jis ki aankhon ke namune par hi maikhane bane hain

hum haqiqat hi haqiqat hain 'uruj' is khak-dan mein
is haqiqat ko bhula dene se afsane bane hain
