ye in dinon jo hum se itni rukhaiyan hain
shayad kisi ne baaten kuchh kuchh sujhaiyan hain

ai andalib sach kah kya fasl-e-gul phir aai
faujen junun ki hum par kaisi chadhaiyan hain

kis be-adab ne tum se gul-bazi aaj ki hai
munh par tumhaare choten kya sakht aaiyan hain

diwar-o-dar ki chhati surakh ho gai hai
kya rauzanon se us ne aankhen ladaiyan hain

paiwasta abru us ki main dekh kar ye samjha
do shakhen hain ki jhuk kar milne ko aaiyan hain
