aaj mehndi lagae baithe hain
khuub vo rang laae baithe hain
mere aate hi ho gae barham
kuchh kasi ke sikhae baithe hain
tegh khinchi hai qatl par mere
haath mujh se uthae baithe hain
main shikayat jafa ki karta huun
chupke vo sar jhukae baithe hain
dum churae hue pade hain ham
vo jo balin pe aae baithe hain
imtihan ko kaha to bole vo
ham tumhen azmae baithe hain
kas ko nazron se aaj utarenge
kyuun vo tevari chadhae baithe hain
dekhiye kab vo shama-ru aae
shaam se lau lagae baithe hain
talna vasl ka jo hai manzur
khud se khud munh thuthae baithe hain
sada-pan men hazar jauban hai
baal khole nahae baithe hain
kaun pahlu se uth gaya ‘anjum’
aap kyuun dil dabae baithe hain
