Zamane ki baaten zamana jaane

Zamane ki baaten zamana jaane
Mahabat kya hai dewaana jaane

Sitamgar ke baare jahan se puchho
Kya woh hai jo sabko sataana jaane

Mafhum samjhaye naam shafqat ka koi
Woh jo roothon ko pyar se manaana jaane

Kya sham’a kahoge usey tum batlao
Woh jo parvaane ko jalaana jaane

Baat nazariye ki hoti hai yaro, bas
Sham’a to raasta bhi deekhlana jaane

Vaiz, majaazi khuda tu kisey kahega
Woh jo hasti hamari mitaana jaane

Khush qismat hai kaun koi to batlao
Kya woh jo faakhta udaana jaane

‘Sahil, shayar kaun hai tu hi batla
Woh jo dil sab ke behlaana jaane

Phir yeh bhi bata humnawa hai kaun
Kya jo naghma bulbul ka sunana jaane
