Kahii sunii pe bohat etbaar karne lage
mere hii log mujhe sangsaar* karne lage
[*sangsaar=patthar maarna, getting brickbats]

puraane logoN ke dil bhii haiN khushbuoN kii tarah
zaraa kisii se mile, etbaar karne lage

naye zamaane se aaNkheN nahiiN milaa paaye
to log guzre zamaane se pyaar karne lage

koi ishaara, dilaasa na koii vaada magar
jab aaii shaam teraa intezaar karne lage

hamaarii saadamizaajii ki daad de ki tujhe
baGair parkhe teraa etbaar karne lage
