Kis ko mehrban kahiye kaun mehrban apna

kis ko mehrban kahiye kaun mehrban apna
waqt ki ye baaten hain waqt ab kahan apna

ab jahan mein baqi hai aah se nishan apna
uD gae dhuen apne rah gaya dhuan apna

ai KHuda gila sun le apni be-niyazi ka
aaj haal kahta hai ek be-zaban apna

so ke raat kaTi hai be-kasi ke pahlu mein
chandni ne dekha hai mere ghar saman apna

ghar to ab bhi duniya ke dhup hi mein bante hain
kyun uTha nahin leta saya aasman apna

hum safar ke qisse ko KHatm kar ke chalte hain
rasta badalti hai apni dastan apna

na-murad duniya mein rah ke KHub bhar pae
chal nikal chalen ai dil kuchh nahin yahan apna

jaante hue 'natiq' ham-watan ki haalat ko
DhunDte phiren ja kar kis liye makan apna
