barsaat ki har boond num nhi hoti
gili sab hoti hain par bheegi nhi hoti
kinaron mein tairti un lehron ki kasam
har boond se bhi pyas ab kum nhi hoti

kayin dafa zindagi mein gair bhi kaam aaye
apne ghar ke baer bhi kam aaye
is fatehaal waqt ki kasam 
rote haal ki wajah hamesha dushmani hi nhi hoti

kaudi ke dam bhi jab milte they bazaar mein
hum to tab bhi aise hi haath malte they
wo din hai aur aaj ka baras
is khariddar se koi khariddari nhi hoti

koshish bhi wo hi koshish kehlati
jis mein chupi ho kal ki shayari
us jaddojehad ko kaun sunta hai
jisme halat hamari bayan hai hoti

kisi ki kehni ko pehchanna sikho
wo tujhpar nhi teri shakhsiyat par chalti hai
is daur mein ab gaur kahan hai
jo keh di wo hi bas baat nhi hoti
