ye bhi nahin bimar na the
itne junun-asar na the

logon ka kya zikr karen
hum bhi kam ayyar na the

ghar mein aur bahut kuchh tha
sirf dar-o-diwar na the

teri khabar mil jati thi
shahr mein jab akhbar na the

pahle bhi sab bikta tha
khwabon ke bazar na the

sab par hansna shewa tha
jab tak khud us par na the

maut ki baaten pyari thin
marne ko tayyar na the
