har ek chehare ko zaKhmon kaa aaiinaa na kaho
ye zindagii to hai rahamat ise sazaa na kaho
na jaane kaun sii majaburiyon kaa qaidii ho
vo saath chhod gayaa hai to bevafaa na kaho
tamaam shahar ne nezon pe kyuun uchhaalaa mujhe
ye ittefaaq thaa tum is ko haadasaa na kaho
ye aur baat ke dushman huaa hai aaj magar
vo meraa dost thaa kal tak use buraa na kaho
hamaare aib hamen ungaliyon pe ginvaao
hamaarii piiTh ke piichhe hamen buraa na kaho
main vaqiyaat kii zanjiir kaa nahiin qaayal
mujhe bhii apane gunaahon kaa silsilaa na kaho
ye shahar vo hai jahaan raakshas bhii hai "Rahat"
har ek taraashe huye but ko devataa na kaho
