Kaha us ne ke aakhir kis liye be-kaar likhtay hein
Ye shair log kyun itnay dukhi ashaar likhtay hein
Kaha ham ne ke az-khud kuch nahi likhtay ye be-chaaray
Inhein majboor karta hai dil, na-chaar likhtay hein
Ye sun ker muskuraii, ghour se dekha hamein, boli
To acha aap bhi is qism ke ashaar likhtay hein
Woh kya gham hai jisay dohraa rahay hein aap barson se
Woh kya dukh hei, mitaatay hein jisay har baar likhtay hein
Magar afsos ham samjha nahin paaye usay kuch bhi
Ke kyun ham bhi usi andaaz ke ashaar likhtay hein
Woh kaisi aag hai, lafzon mein jis ko dhaaltay hein ham
Woh kya gham hai jo raaton ko pas-e-deevaar likhtay hein
Hai aisa kon jo saaray jahaan se hai hamein pyaara
Woh kaisa dushman-e-jaan hai jisay ham gham-khwaar likhtay hein
Ye shair log kyun itnay dukhi ashaar likhtay hein
Kaha ham ne ke az-khud kuch nahi likhtay ye be-chaaray
Inhein majboor karta hai dil, na-chaar likhtay hein
Ye sun ker muskuraii, ghour se dekha hamein, boli
To acha aap bhi is qism ke ashaar likhtay hein
Woh kya gham hai jisay dohraa rahay hein aap barson se
Woh kya dukh hei, mitaatay hein jisay har baar likhtay hein
Magar afsos ham samjha nahin paaye usay kuch bhi
Ke kyun ham bhi usi andaaz ke ashaar likhtay hein
Woh kaisi aag hai, lafzon mein jis ko dhaaltay hein ham
Woh kya gham hai jo raaton ko pas-e-deevaar likhtay hein
Hai aisa kon jo saaray jahaan se hai hamein pyaara
Woh kaisa dushman-e-jaan hai jisay ham gham-khwaar likhtay hein
