aaya hai le ke mausam saughat machchharon ki
har samt ho rahi hai barsat machchharon ki

kam-zat machchharon ki bad-zat machchharon ki
hum khub jaante hain auqat machchharon ki

dete hain hasb-e-adat bimariyon ko dawat
kar kar ke hum ziyafat din-raat machchharon ki

hai majra ye kaisa kya qahr hai khuda ka
nazil jo ho rahi hain aafat machchharon ki

aati hain hansti gati jati hain gungunati
afwaj machchharon ki baraat machchharon ki

bichchhu se bhi ziyaada zahrile ho chuke hain
kuchh badh chuki hai itni auqat machchharon ki

phaila ke kyon ghalazat aaludgi najasat
karte hain parwarish kyon haalat machchharon ki

har chiz se anokhi har shai se hain nirali
atwar machchharon ke harkat machchharon ki

chalti hain saen saen jab tez-tar hawaen
banti hain bin banae kuchh baat machchharon ki

is daur mein hai qillat har chiz ki magar hai
ifraat machchharon ki bohtat machchharon ki

apna lahu pila kar hum log 'rahi' aksar
karte rahe tawazoa din-raat machchharon ki
