zakhm lakho hi dil mein chupaye hue hain

log kahte hain zamana bada bewafa hai,
hum to apno se hi tang aaye hue hain,

kaho kaise zamane ko ilzaam de,
jab ki apne sitam hum pe dhaye hue hain,

jinko kahte the apne.. hue gair woh,
yahi khamosh sadma uthae hue hain,

zulm sahte rahe.. uff muh se na ki,
zakhm lakho hi dil mein chupaye hue hain,

aaj apno se hai gair bahetar hue,
jo ki palko pe hum ko bithaye hue hain,

ek apne hain jinpe hum ko naaz tha,
wahi raho mein kaate bichaye hue hain,

koi apna nahin kisko apna kahein,
hum ne apne sabhi aazmaye hue hain,

ab to jeene ki koi bhi chahat nahin,
shama umeed ki hum bujhaye hue hain,

saya apno ka koi na ho jis jagah,
aisi basti ko hum basaye hue hain.
