zaban pe harf to inkar mein nahin aata
ye marhala hi kabhi pyar mein nahin aata

khulega un pe jo bainassutur padhte hain
wo harf harf jo akhbar mein nahin aata

samajhne wale yaqinan samajh hi lete hain
hamara dard jo izhaar mein nahin aata

ye khandan hamara bikhar gaya jab se
maza hamein kisi tyauhaar mein nahin aata

hamare haq mein to wo chand aur suraj hai
bahut dinon se jo didar mein nahin aata

kamal ye hai ki hum khwab dekhte hi nahin
ki khwab dida-e-bedar mein nahin aata

hamara sher samajhne ki kuchh to koshish kar
ye kya nawishta-e-diwar mein nahin aata

qalam ki kat to talwar se bhi badh kar hai
magar shumar ye hathiyar mein nahin aata

wo apna zauq badhaen agar maza un ko
rauf 'khair' ke ashaar mein nahin aata
