kab samhalta hai dil bhigone se

kab samhalta hai dil bhigone se
ab bhi dukhta hai gham chubhone se

chup se rehte ho log kehte hain

kya mila tum ko door hone se

khel badlo toh kuchh mazaa aaye

dil bahelta nahi khilone se

subah dil kaam mein nahin lagta

aajkal raatbhar na sone se

aankhein dukhti hai, dil pighalta hai

faayda kya hai aur rone se

jism sukha hai muddaton se yahaan

kya milega libaas dhone se

saans ka taar toot jaayega

aur ek haadsa pirone se

kya tha kab tha woh kaun tha maazi

kho gaya baarbaar khone se

sochiye toh gham se darna chahiye

sochiye toh gham se darna chahiye
dekhiye toh aankh bharna chahiye

sochta hoon aate jaate roz main

ussey jaake baat karna chahiye

saikdon chehre gine hai aankh ne

dil hi jaane kis pe marna chahiye

tum mile toh kuchh nahi chahta hoon main

saari duniya mujhko varna chahiye

khwaahishon ko paalo matt maazi yahaan

jo bhi hai sab kar guzarna chahiye

aisa kyun hai

aisa kyun hai, meetha dil chakhta nahi
uski roti mere ghar pakta nahi

ek parchi bhej do us naam ki

ya ke kahe do, yeh bhi ho sakta nahi

ab jo sardi hai rahegi umr bhar

yeh kafan hai, saara tann dhakta nahi

ek waada hai kisi ka, yaad hai

varna koi raasta takta nahi

is shahr mein woh rahega kya bhala

aap se jo waasta rakhta nahi

likh rahe the, ke hawa ne chheen li

ik adhuree si ghazal, makhta nahi

tum mein woh kya baat hai ke raat din

tum se baatein karte main thakta nahi

ik padosi hai mera, chupchap hai

main bhi uske saamne bakta nahi

maazi hai kuchh be-adab sa in dinon

par yeh mat kahena ke woh yakta nahi

hum ko yaadein bona tha

hum ko yaadein bona tha
aur ek gaanth pirona tha

jaane kyun hans deta hoon

tum se mil kar rona tha

yaad ki sard hatheli par

chaadar ka ik kona tha

baarish aur badhegi ab

aise tum ko khona tha

jaisa jaisa darte the

waisa waisa hona tha

toot gaya toh rakhna kya

par dilchasb khilona tha

sadkein jaagi rehti thi

maazi ko kab sona tha
