ashk ankhon se piya bhi na bahaya ham ne
aag ko dil men kuchh is tarah chhupaya ham ne
vo kabhi apne hue aur na vo ghair hue
un ko khoya bhi nahin aur na paaya ham ne
dil to pahle hi se zakhmi hai dukhi aur na kar
ai zamane tira har baar uthaya ham ne
ham se milte hain vahi dushman-e-jani ki tarah
jis kisi ko bhi yahan apna banaya ham ne
sar jhukae rahe is vaste har ik lamha
ai khuda tujh ko har ik zarre men paaya ham ne
hadisa kya tha ‘kiran’ kuchh na samajh men aaya
umr bhar kis ke liye khud ko ganvaya ham ne
