aahein na bharin shikave na kiye
kuchh bhi na zabaan se kaam liya
is dil ko pakad kar baith gae
haathon se kaleja thaam liya

puuchha jo kisi ne haal to ham
kuchh kah na sake kuchh kah bhi gae
roke to bahut aansu lekin
kuchh ruk bhi gae kuchh bah bhi gae
afsaana kaha aur lab na hile
ashkon se jahaan ka kaam liya

rone se bhala kya dil rukata
duniya ko aur tadapaata
sach puuchhiye ye to kair hui
mahafil mein tamaasha ban jaata
kuchh aap adaayein rok gae
kuchh zabt se ham ne kaam liya

vo laakh tumhaare zulm sahe
par aankh se aansu bah na saka
bimaar-e-mohabbat ai nakashab
kuchh aur to munh se kah na saka
ik thandi si lambi aah bhari
chupake se kisi ka naam liya

aahein na bharin
