ahut qarib hai 'muztar' wo zindagi ka nizam
nazar na aaega jab koi bismil o qatil
Muztar Haidri
hae be-chehragi ye insan ki
hae ye aadmi-numa kya hai
Muztar Haidri
ek Thes bhi halki si patthar se giran-tar hai
nazuk hai ye dil itna shishe ka ho ghar jaise
Muztar Haidri
jhuki jhuki jo hai kaDwi-kasili nim ki shaKH
usi pe shahd ka chhatta dikhai deta hai
Muztar Haidri
kal raat mere dil ne phir chupke se puchha hai
'muztar' teri aahon mein aaega asar kab tak
Muztar Haidri
KHulus ho to kahin bandagi ki qaid nahin
sanam-kade mein tawaf-e-haram bhi mumkin hai
Muztar Haidri
koi bhi shakl mukammal kitab ban na saki
har ek chehra yahan iqtibas jaisa hai
Muztar Haidri
mahfil mein un ki khul gaya dil ka muamla
palkon pe ashk rah gae pine ke baad bhi
Muztar Haidri
sang-rezo ko haqarat se na Thukraiye aap
KHak ke zarre bhi sine mein sharar rakhte hain
Muztar Haidri
