bas men laTak rahaa thaa koii haar kii tarah
koii paDaa thaa saayaa-e-diivaar kii tarah
sahamaa huaa thaa koii gunaahagaar kii tarah
koii fansaa thaa murg-e-giraftaar kii tarah
maharoom ho gayaa thaa koii ek paanv se
jootaa badal gayaa thaa kisii kaa khaDaaoon se
koii pukaarataa thaa mirii jeb kaT gaii
kahataa thaa koii merii naii painT faT gaii
bas men tamaam pardon kii diivaar haT gaii
riish-e-safed julf-e-siyah se lipaT gaii
ek achchhaa-khaasaa mard jnaane men ghus paDaa
goyaa ki ek chor khjaane men ghus paDaa
leDiij kii safon men jo chehare the kuchh hasiin
un par najr jamaae hue the miyaan-matiin
shaamil musaafiron men the har fn ke maaheriin
kuchh un men naajiriin the baakii tamaash-biin
jauk-e-najr kii shart thii manjr buraa n thaa
das paise ke TikaT men ye pikchar buraa n thaa
gaaDii men ek shor thaa kanDakTar aage chal
kah de khudaa ke vaaste haan Thiik hai Dabal
kab tak khaDaa rahegaa sar-e-jaadaa-e-amal
laDne kii aarajoo hai to baahar jraa nikal
tujh par khudaa kii maar ho sTaarT kar de bas
do paise aur le le jo daulat kii hai havas
kaNDakTar ab ye kahataa thaa vo bas chalaae kyoon
jo bas men aa gayaa hai kare haae haae kyoon
jis ko ho jaan ajiij mirii bas men aae kyoon
aise hii gul-badan the to paise bachaae kyoon
Thaanii hai dil men ab n dabenge kisii se ham
tang aa gae hain roj kii kaNDakTarii se ham
kahataa thaa vo kisii se bhii kamatar nahiin hoon main
yaanii kisii ke baap kaa naukar nahiin hoon main
pablik se kyoon Daroon koii liiDar nahiin hoon main
kyoon regular chaloon mah o akhtar nahiin hoon main
bas men khaDe raho jo mire khairakhvaah ho
dekho mujhe jo door se ibarat-nigaah ho
ye bas jo vaakii thii kaii saal se aliil
mushkil se ek ghaNTe men chalatii thii chaar miil
maalik ne bhii ye soch ke de dii thii is ko Dhiil
ab is kii jindagii ke hain lamhe bahut kliil
ab to kisii klark se aachaanak ye jaa mile
kuchh biimaa kamapanii se hamen bhii silaa mile
mumakin n thaa ki bas se hamaaraa mile mijaaj
jamhooriyat hai ham ko pasand aur ise niraaj
mushkil to ye hai bas kaa muaavin hai kul samaaj
aise men kyaa buland ho aavaaj-e-ehatijaaj
ghabaraa ke ham to aarT kii duniyaa men kho gae
jab tak maler aayaa kaii sher ho gae
