mahfil mein aaj marsiya-KHwani hi kyun na ho
mahfil meñ aaj marsiya-ḳhvānī hī kyuuñ na ho
āñkhoñ se bahne dījiye paanī hī kyuuñ na ho
nashshe kā ehtimām se rishta nahīñ koī
paiġhām us kā aa.e zabānī hī kyuuñ na ho
aise ye ġham kī raat guzarnā muhāl hai
kuchh bhī sunā mujhe vo kahānī hī kyuuñ na ho
koī bhī saath detā nahīñ umr-bhar yahāñ
kuchh din rahegī saath javānī hī kyuuñ na ho
is tishnagī kī qaid se jaise bhī ho nikāl
piine ko kuchh bhī chāhiye paanī hī kyuuñ na ho
duniyā bhī jaise taash ke pattoñ kā khel hai
joker ke saath rahtī hai raanī hī kyuuñ na ho
tasvīr us kī chāhiye har haal meñ mujhe
pāgal ho sar-phirī ho divānī hī kyuuñ na ho
sonā to yaar sonā hai chāhe jahāñ rahe
biivī hai phir bhī biivī purānī hī kyuuñ na ho
ab apne ghar meñ rahne na deñge kisī ko ham
dil se nikāl deñge nishānī hī kyuuñ na ho
mahfil mein aaj marsiya-KHwani hi kyun na ho
aankhon se bahne dijiye pani hi kyun na ho
nashshe ka ehtimam se rishta nahin koi
paigham us ka aae zabani hi kyun na ho
aise ye gham ki raat guzarna muhaal hai
kuchh bhi suna mujhe wo kahani hi kyun na ho
koi bhi sath deta nahin umr-bhar yahan
kuchh din rahegi sath jawani hi kyun na ho
is tishnagi ki qaid se jaise bhi ho nikal
pine ko kuchh bhi chahiye pani hi kyun na ho
duniya bhi jaise tash ke patton ka khel hai
joker ke sath rahti hai rani hi kyun na ho
taswir us ki chahiye har haal mein mujhe
pagal ho sar-phiri ho diwani hi kyun na ho
sona to yar sona hai chahe jahan rahe
biwi hai phir bhi biwi purani hi kyun na ho
ab apne ghar mein rahne na denge kisi ko hum
dil se nikal denge nishani hi kyun na ho
