Apne hone ka ham iss tarha pata dete thai

Apne hone ka ham iss tarha pata dete thai
khak muthhi mai uthhate thai urha daite thai

be samar jaan k ham kaat chuke hain jo shajar
yaad aate hain k be chare hawa daite thai

uski mehfil mai wahi such tha wo jo kuch bhi kahey
ham bhi gungo'n ki tarah haath uthha daite thai

abb se pehle jo qatil thai boht achhey thai
qatl se pehle jo pani tau pila daite thai

wo hamain kosta rehta tha zamane bhar mai
aur ham apna koi shair suna daite thai

ghar ki ta'meer mai ham barso'n rahe hain pagal
roz deewar uthhate thai gira daite thai

hamm bhi abb jhoot ki paishani ko bosa daingey
tum bhi sach bolne waley ko dua daite thai
