yeh dunya ahle dunya ko basi maloom hoti hai,
nazar walon ko ye ujri hui maloom hoti hai…
yeh kis ne kardeya sabdosh ho ke mujhko baigana?
mujhe abh dosti bhi dushmani maloom hoti hai…
mai rona apna rota hoon to woh hans hans ke sunte hain,
unhe dil ki lagi ik dil lagi maloom hoti hai…
naa jayen meri is fanda labi par dekh ne walay,
ke lab pe zakhm ke bhi to hansi maloom hoti hai…
talab karte ho daad-e-husn tum… phir woh bhi ghairon se?
mujhe to sun ke bhi ikraar si maloom hoti hai…
agar himat kare to kya nahi insaan ke bas mai?
ye hai kam himati jo bai basi maloom hoti hai.
