Shikast

diwaren darwaze dariche gum-sum hain
baaten karte bolte kamre gum-sum hain

hansti shor machati galiyan chup chup hain
roz chahakne wali chiDiyan chup chup hain

pas paDosi milne aana bhul gae
bartan aapas mein Takrana bhul gae

almari ne aahen bharna chhoD diya
sanduqon ne shikwa karna chhoD diya

miTThu bi-bi roTi do kahta hi nahin
suni sej pe dil bas mein rahta hi nahin

singer ki aawaz ko kan taraste hain
ghar mein jaise sab gunge hain baste hain

tum kya bichhDe samay suhane bit gae
lauT aao main haara lo tum jit gae!
