guftugu main jab yahan par meri baari aye gi,
shor baRrh jaye ga aur awaz thoRri aye gi,

teri banhon ke ilawa main kahin sota nahin,
kis ko ghar door reh kar neend puri aye gi..

tamam khawhishen puri hon, aab-o-dana ho,
ab is main dil nahin lagta naya zamana ho,

kisi ki salgirah ho kisi ki barsi par,
kisi ka noha kisi aur ka tarana ho,

tamam gaon ikatha ho aik station par,
aur aik shakhss udhar sheher se rawana ho,

usi se poocho sharayet ke jis ke daryaa hain,
woh kya kare ke jise kuch na kuch ugana ho,

kisi se milne ki jaldi bhi ho humen zoraiz,
aur aik jalta hua sheher bhi bachana ho..

lipatt ke soch ki neendain haraam karti hai,
tamaam shab teri hasrat kalaam karti hai,

hum hi woh ilm ke roshan charagh hain jin ko,
hawaa bujhati nahi hai salaam karti hai,

kisi bhi taur sikhati nahi hai azaadi,
mere huzoor, mohabbat ghulaam karti hai,

yeh sar ba-sajda kaha naik-dil tawaif ne,
khudaya shukar ke beti bhi kaam karti hai.

tere talash ke maaron ki neend puri ho,
zara to beth ke pairon ki neend puri ho,

jo aik jaage to dono ko iztiraab rahe,
jo aik soye to dono ki neend puri ho,

khuda to chahe ga khawbon main sab rahen masroof,
khuda to chahe ga bandon ki neend puri ho,

usi ki marzi hai kitnon ko chowkidaar rakhe,
usi ki marzi hai kitnon ki neend puri ho,

yeh roti pani ka jhagRra hai aur logon ka,
main chahta hoon ke logon ki neend puri ho,

visal kar ke judai ka naam tak na rahe,
phir itna jagain ke barson ki neend puri ho,

tera bichaRrna ke bas jagne ki doori pe hai,
to kaise khauf ke maaron ki neend puri ho..

yeh dukh nahin ke sheher main mera koi nahin,
yeh dukh ki baat hai ke kisi ka koi nahin,

uss ka bichaRrna le gaya hiss-e-mazaah tak,
hansne ki baat karta hoon hansta koi nahin,

zulm hota dekhne walon ki saff main hain,
afsos is hujoom main andha koi nahin,

lagta hai woh to sheheron ka ho kar hi reh gaya,
halanke janta tha ke hamara koi nahin,

din kya hua ke bhaag paRre daftron ki samt,
zoraiz sair-gahon main hota koi nahin..

tere baghair tere sath aik jaise thay,
ke hijr o vasl ke lamhaat aik jaise thay,

phir aik din woh sahar-khaiz mere pas aya,
wagarna mere bhi din raat aik jaise thay,

bichaRrne wale kisi aur ka kaha mat maan,
ke tere mere khayalaat aik jaise thay,

na chahne pe bhi aik dusre ke ho hi gaye,
dua alag thi magar hath aik jaise thay,

phir us ke baad khabar ayi woh bohat khush hai,
Juda huye thay to halaat aik jaise thay..

Yeh vasl kya ke khuda toor hi jalaa de yaar,
Maza to jab hai ke woh arsh par jagah de yaar,

Main roz khawb main oonchi jagah se girta hoon,
Tu mujh ko choRrne wala hai to bata de yaar,

Yeh hijr-o-vasl ke qisse to sab ne likhe hain,
Tu sher baandh raha hai to kuch naya de yaar,

Tu mere baad unhe phir bula le mehfil main,
Bas aik baar mere samne utha de yaar,

Woh mera ho nahin sakta to ae musawwar sun,
Hamari sath main tasveer hi bana de yaar..

Sochti hai kabhi kabhi duniya,
Rabt purana hai aur nayi duniya,

Mujh ko phir se haseen lagne lagi,
Us ne is tarah paish ki duniya,

Jab talak tere khawb aate rahe,
Khoobsurat paRri lagi duniya,

Tere hathon se chhuu liya mahtaab,
Teri ankhon se dekh li duniya,

Mujh ko apni samajh nahin aati,
Aur upar se yeh teri duniya..

Tum se bichaRr kar zinda hain,
Jaan bohat sharminda hain..

Tujhe matlab hai adaaa se teri,
Koi mar jaye balaa se teri,

Tu ne bandon ki kahan suNni hai,
Baat karta hoon khuda se teri.
