Kya Karen

meri teri nigah mein

jo lakh intizar hain

jo mere tere tan-badan mein

lakh dil-figar hain

jo meri teri ungliyon ki be-hisi se

sab qalam nazar hain

jo mere tere shahr ki

har ek gali mein

mere tere naqsh-e-pa ke be-nishan mazar hain

jo meri teri raat ke

sitare zaKHm zaKHm hain

jo meri teri subh ke

gulab chaak chaak hain

ye zaKHm sare be-dawa

ye chaak sare be-rafu

kisi pe rakh chand ki

kisi pe os ka lahu

ye hai bhi ya nahin, bata

ye hai, ki mahz jal hai

mere tumhaare ankabut-e-wahm ka buna hua

jo hai to is ka kya karen

nahin hai to bhi kya karen

bata, bata,

bata, bata
