Sochta hun ke bhuja dun main yeh kamre ka diya;
Apne saaye ko bhi kyon saath jagaaon apne

Hum bhi maujud the taqdeer ke darwaaze par
Log daulat par gire aur humne tujhe maang liya

Aaj kisi ki dua ki kami hai
Tabhi to humari aankhon mein nami hai
Koi to hai jo bhol gaya hai humain
Par hamare dil mein unki jagah ab bhi wahin hai

Uski aankhon mein nazar aata hai sara jahaan mujhko
Afsos ki un aakhnon mein kabhi khud ko nahi dekha

Dil ke dard ko dil todne wala kya jane
Pyaar ki rasmon ko yeh zamane wale kya jane
Hoti hai kitni takleef qabar ke neeche
Yeh upar se phool charane wale kya jane

Us ke daaman mein bhee zakhmon ke siwa kuch na mila
Humne jis shaqs ko samjha tha maseeha sabka
Zakhm: woun
Daaman: lower portion of a shirt or a coa
Maseeha: saviou
