Ji Nahin Lagta Kitabon Mein Kitaben Kya Karen

ji nahin lagta kitabon mein kitaben kya karen

kya paDhen paDh kar bujhi be-nur satren kya karen

kuchh ajab haalat hai ai dil kuchh samajh aata nahin

so rahen ghar ja ke ya galiyon mein ghumen kya karen

wasta patthar se paD jae jahan sochun wahan

kya karen zor-e-bayan qalamen dawaten kya karen

aisi yaKH-basta hawa mein konplen phuTengi kya?

barishon ki aarzu be-barg shaKHen kya karen

ho gai daldal zamin dhanste hi rah jate hain yan

kya karen mohkam binaen surKH inTen kya karen

sham Dhalte hi ye aalam hai to kya jaane bashir

haal apna subh tak be-rabt nabzen kya karen
