Tang Aa Gae Hain Kya Karen Is Zindagi Se Hum

tang aa gae hain kya karen is zindagi se hum

ghabra ke puchhte hain akele mein ji se hum

majburiyon ko apni kahen kya kisi se hum

lae gae hain, aae nahin hain KHushi se hum

kam-baKHt dil ki man gae, baiThna paDa

yun to hazar bar uThe us gali se hum

yarab! bura bhi ho dil-e-KHana-KHarab ka

sharma rahe hain is ki badaulat kisi se hum

din hi pahaD hai shab-e-gham kya ho kya na ho

ghabra rahe hain aaj sar-e-sham hi se hum

dekha na tum ne aankh uTha kar bhi ek bar

guzre hazar bar tumhaari gali se hum

matlab yahi nahin dil-e-KHana-KHarab ka

kahne mein us ke aaen guzar jaen ji se hum

chheDa adu ne ruTh gae sari bazm se

bole ki ab na baat karenge kisi se hum

tum sun ke kya karoge kahani gharib ki

jo sab ki sun raha hai kahenge usi se hum

mahfil mein us ne ghair ko pahlu mein di jagah

guzri jo dil pe kya kahen 'bismil' kisi se hum
