zamaane ke zulm-o-sitam dekh lo
mirii zindagi ke bhi gham dekh lo
qayamat se badhkar rahe hain sabhi
kamar ke na maano to KHam dekh lo
mohabbat to karne chale ho magar
mohabbat men kya-kya hain gham dekh lo
ye khanjar chalaane se pahle suno
mira haal to kam se kam dekh lo
are ab ke zaahid bhi peene lagena maano to dair-o-haram dekh lo
