munawwar rana,

bari karvaahaten hain is liye aisa nahi hota,
shakar khaaye chala jata hu mu,n meetha nahi hota,

dava ki tarha khate jaayiye gaali buzurgo,n ki,
jo achche phal hain unka zaayeqa achcha nhi hota,

hamare shehar me aise manaazir roz miltey hain,
ke sab hota hai chehre par magar chehra nahi hota,

hamari berukhi ki den hai bazaar ki zeenat,
agar ham me wafa hoti tou ye kotha nahi hota,

kisi ki yaad ko dil me basaana theek hai lekin,
ye aisa zakhm hai jo umra bhar achcha nhi hota,

nigaaho me basa lete hai sachche chaahne vaale,
faqat chehra chhupa lene se tou parda nahi hota,

na dil razi na vo razi tou kaahe ki ibaadat hai,
kiya jata hu main sajda magar sajda nahi hota,

munawwar rana,
