zindagi kitni masarrat se guzarti ya rab
aish ki tarah agar gham bhi gawara hota
Akhtar Shirani
ab to hathon se lakiren bhi miTi jati hain
us ko kho kar to mere pas raha kuchh bhi nahin
Akhtar Shumar
abhi safar mein koi moD hi nahin aaya
nikal gaya hai ye chup-chap dastan se kaun
Akhtar Shumar
main ghar ko phunk raha tha baDe yaqin ke sath
ki teri rah mein pahla qadam uThana tha
Akhtar Shumar
main to is waste chup hun ki tamasha na bane
tu samajhta hai mujhe tujh se gila kuchh bhi nahin
Akhtar Shumar
main zindagi ke safar mein tha mashghala us ka
wo DhunD DhunD ke mujh ko ganwa diya karta
Akhtar Shumar
meri ruswai agar sath na deti mera
yun sar-e-bazm main izzat se nikalta kaise
Akhtar Shumar
