hoti hai agarche kahne se yaron parai bat
par ham se to thami na kabhu munh pe ai bat

kahte the us se milte to kya-kya na kahte lekin
wo a gaya to samne us k na ai bat

bul-bul k bolne main sab andaz hain mere
poshida kya rahi hai kisu ki urai bat

ik din kaha tha ye k khamoshi main hai waqar
so mujh se hi sukhan nahin main jo batai bat

ab mujh zaif-o-zar ko mat kuch kaha karo
jati nahin hai mujh se kisu ki uthai bat
