na puure hue ba-khuda bechte hain
yuun khvab-o-khayalon ko ja bechte hain
nahin koi mukhlis zamane men varna
ata bechte the rida bechte hain
tabibon ki saari hai apni kahani
vafa bechte hain shifa bechte hain
chalo tum bhi ham se ye vaada karo ab
qasam kha ke saari ana bechte hain
ye ahl-e-zamana kahan jante hain
dilon men sulagti sada bechte hain
hue hain vo ham se parae ki aise
laga ke gira phir qaba bechte hain
sitam pe sitam vo kiye ja rahe hain
laga ke vo zakhm ab dava bechte hain
nahin hoti un se koi baat bhi to
ye ankhon ke andhe dua bechte hain
bhare mal-o-daulat se kamre hain khali
havas ke pujari kala bechte hain
mukammal ho tera funun-e-safar ye
haan saghar se kah do dua bechte hain
jo dekha andhera to rahon men ‘mariyam’
amavas ki shab men ziya bechte hain
