-- Keise janun --

Kehte hein peeche bikhra hua dhoop, keise manu?
mere aankhonke aage lambasa saaya hei.

Kehte hein, jhoote ka mooh kala, keise manu?
mere shahid beta barood se jala kyon hei.

Kehte hein, achayayiyon ka chaadar jamaana hei, keise manu?
har doosra insaan jameer se nanga hei.

Kehte hein, aaj neki ka jamaana hei, keise manu?
bete ko sona hei, bistar bhi rishwatkhor hei.

Kehte hein, dil ka rishta sabse bada, keise manu?
yahan har rishte ki buniyaad paisa hei.

Kehte hein, shahid ki maut sabse achi, keise manu?
bhediye noach ne mein koi kami nahin ****te.

Kehte hein, intejaar ka phal meetha hota hei,
sach hei, eisi jindegi se maut to achi hogi.
