hum khud ko shayar banaye baithe hain

dil ko ab intezaar nahi kisi khushi ka,
hum ashqon se hi dil behlaye baithe hain.

zindagi ke andhere ko mitane ke vaaste,
dil ke zakhmon ko jalaye baithe hain.

woh baatein jo tardpati hain mere dil ko,
unhein hi seene se lagaae baithe hain.

bewajah tu chhord ke gayi hai jab se,
hum khud ko hi bewafa banaae baithe hain. 

masoom dil ko behlaane ke vaaste,
chahat ko hi mohabbat bataye baithe hain.

mere jazbaaton ko to chura le gayi hai woh,
aur hum khud ko shayar banaye baithe hain.
