yar bhi rah ki diwar samajhte hain mujhe
main samajhta tha mere yar samajhte hain mujhe

jad ukhadne se jhukaw hai meri shakhon mein
dur se log samar-bar samajhte hain mujhe

kya khabar kal yahi tabut mera ban jae
aap jis takht ka haqdar samajhte hain mujhe

nek logon mein mujhe nek gina jata hai
aur gunahgar gunahgar samajhte hain mujhe

main to khud bikne ko bazar mein aaya hua hun
aur dukan-dar kharidar samajhte hain mujhe

main badalte hue haalat mein dhal jata hun
dekhne wale adakar samajhte hain mujhe

wo jo us par hain is par mujhe jaante hain
ye jo is par hain us par samajhte hain mujhe

main to yun chup hun ki andar se bahut khali hun
aur ye log pur-asrar samajhte hain mujhe

raushni bantta hun sarhadon ke par bhi main
ham-watan is liye ghaddar samajhte hain mujhe

jurm ye hai ki in andhon mein hun aankhon wala
aur saza ye hai ki sardar samajhte hain mujhe

lash ki tarah sar-e-ab hun main aur 'shahid'
dubne wale madad-gar samajhte hain mujhe
