Samajhtey they magar phir bhi na rakhi dooriyan humne,

Charaagon ko jalane mein jalaali ungliyan humne,

Koi titli humare paas aati bhi to kiya aati,

Sajaye umr bhar kagaz ke Phool or Patiyaan humne,

Younhi ghut ghut k marjana humen manzoor tha lekin

Kisi kamzarf par zaahir na keen majbooriyan humne,

Hum us mehfil mein bus ik baar such bol aey thay

Zabaan par umr bhar mehsoos ki chingaariyan humne..
