Kisi ka kaam dil is charKH se hua bhi hai

kisi ka kaam dil is charKH se hua bhi hai
koi zamane mein aaram se raha bhi hai

kisi mein mehr-o-mohabbat kahin wafa bhi hai
koi kisi ka zamane mein aashna bhi hai

koi falak ka sitam mujh se bach raha bhi hai
jana nasib koi mujh sa dusra bhi hai

bura na maniyo main puchhta hun ai zalim
ki be-kason ke satae se kuchh bhala bhi hai

jo puKHta-maghz hain we soz-e-dil nahin kahte
kisi ne shama se jalne mein kuchh suna bhi hai

tum is qadar jo niDar ho ke zulm karte ho
butan hamara tumhaara koi KHuda bhi hai

tu qatilon se lagata hai dil ko kyun 'taban'
ki un ke hath se jita koi bacha bhi hai
