mohabbat apni qismat men nahin hai ibadat se guzaara kar rahe hai

ye shahar-e-ajnabi men ab kise ja kar bataayen ham kahaan ke rahne waale hain kahaan ki yaad aati hai

safar men aakhiri patthar ke baad aayega mazaa to yaar december ke baad aayega

uljh karke teri agar men yuñ aabaad ho jaaun ki jaise lucknow ka main ameenabad ho jaaun main yamuna ki tarah tanhaa nihaaru taaj ko kab tak koi ganga mile to main ilahaabad ho jaaun

maut ka ek din muayyan hai neend kyun raat bhar nahin aati

zaroori hai sitaaron ki numaish ho hamaara chaand azmat se nikalta hai

zamaane ko zaroorat thii hamaari so us ne khoob kaañte hi chubhaaye

zamaane ko tamasha chahiye tha tabhi to itnaa khul ke ro pade ham

zaroori hai zamaana bhi khafa ho ha men to ab badalna hai zaroori

zaroorat hi nahin ab ham ko munsif ki ki ab qaatil hi KHud insaaf karta hai
