andhera mangne aaya tha raushni ki bhik
hum apna ghar na jalate to aur kya karte
Nazeer Banarasi
aas hi se dil mein paida zindagi hone lagi
shama jalne bhi na pai raushni hone lagi
Nazeer Banarasi
ad-gumani ko baDha kar tum ne ye kya kar diya
KHud bhi tanha ho gae mujh ko bhi tanha kar diya
Nazeer Banarasi
dil ki ujDi hui haalat pe na jae koi
shahr aabaad hue hain isi virane se
Nazeer Banarasi
dusron se kab talak hum pyas ka shikwa karen
lao tesha ek dariya dusra paida karen
Nazeer Banarasi
ek diwane ko jo aae hain samjhane kai
pahle main diwana tha aur ab hain diwane kai
in a madman, people come, to sanity imbue
I was the only lunatic, now there're quite a few
Nazeer Banarasi
ek jhonka is tarah zanjir-e-dar khaDka gaya
main ye samjha bhulne wale ko main yaad aa gaya
Nazeer Banarasi
ji mein aata hai ki den parde se parde ka jawab
hum se wo parda karen duniya se hum parda karen
Nazeer Banarasi
meri be-zaban aankhon se gire hain chand qatre
wo samajh saken to aansu na samajh saken to pani
Nazeer Banarasi
