Dukh apna

Dukh apna agar hum ko batana nahin ata,
Tum ko bhi to andaza lagana nahin ata,

Pohancha hai jo bazurgon ke bayanon se jo hum tak,
Kya baat huyi kyun woh zamana nahin ata,

Main bhi usay khonay ka hunar seekh na paya,
Us ko bhi mujhe choRR ke jana nahin ata,

Is choTtay zamane ke baRre kese bano ge,
Logon ko jab aapas main laRrana nahin ata,

Dhoonde hai to palkon pe chamakne ke bahane,
Aansuu ko meri aankh main aana nahin ata,

Tareekh ki aankhon main dhuaan ho gaye khud hi,
Tum ko to koi ghar bhi jalana nahin ata..
