rangeen nahin, khushboo nahin

rangeen nahin, khushboo nahin, mitha nahin lagta

uske baghair kuchh bhi achchha nahin lagta

aaye hi kyun jo chal diye saamaan utha ke tum

ghar mein pada hai jo kuchh mera nahin lagta

ab shaam ho chuki hai, rastein udaas hain

kya tere shaher mein bhi mela nahin lagta

is shaher mein hain kisse sabhi ke alag magar

koi yahaan meri tarha tanha nahin lagta

kuchh zakhm tar-o-taaza, kuchh dard puraane

ik nazm nibhaane mein kya kya nahin lagta

kiraayedaar utthe toh aabru bhi chal padi

do din huye darwaaze pe parda nahin lagta

har waqt yaad aao aisa bhi kya ho tum

sach yeh bhi hai ke koi tum sa nahin lagta

chalta hai saath saath woh, muddat guzar gayee

kya baat hai abhi bhi jo apna nahin lagta

sab daud phir rahe hain bachne ki fikr mein

saansein to chal rahin hain, zinda nahin lagta

sach ekbaar pahen li, sab jhoot utaar di

ab dhoop mein chalo toh chashma nahin lagta

soonsaan hai moholla, toota hai kahin kuchh

yeh ghar wohi hai lekin uska nahin lagta

woh paas hon toh dozakh dozakh kahaan rahe

woh dur hon toh kaaba kaaba nahin lagta

resham ka hai yeh dhaga tanha pada hua

tere rumaal se toh rishtaa nahin lagta

woh phir bulaayein dilli hum phir se chal diye
aasaani se milega mirza nahin lagta

hai aaj bhi gali mein kuchh shor sharaaba

ghar mein hi hoga maazi, nikla nahin lagta
