kuch to humko hai shikayat iss zalim zamane se

kuch to humko hai shikayat iss zalim zamane se,
aur kuch pareshan hain hum apne dil deewane se.

jab-jab bhi chorda hath se, tab-tab main tuta hoon,
baaz na aaya zamana phir bhi aazmane se.

jaane kyun aye khuda teri talash rehti hai,
jab jab khafa hua main apane ashiyane se.

yun to peete peete surahi tamam khali kar daali,
phir bhi pyase laute hain shaqi tere maiykhane se.

jaate jaate mord tak, magroor palat-te bhi nahi,
haqikat jhank na le kahin palkon ke shamyane se.

humko bhi khuda kisi layak bana deta,
kash chale jaate unke ghar kisi bahane se.

hothon tak nahi late yeh aur baat hai,
sachhai vawasta hai phir bhi ankahe fasane se.

mastghan tere rone se zamane mein shiddatein,
shole kyun baraste hain jaane tere muskurane se.
