yahii haalaat ibtadaa se rahe - Javed Akhtar

yahii haalaat ibtadaa se rahe

log hamase Khafaa Khafaa se rahe

bevafaa tum kabhii na the lekin

ye bhii sach hai ki bevafaa se rahe

in chiraagon men tel hii kam thaa

kyon gilaa phir hamen havaa se rahe

bahas, shatranj sher mausiiqii

tum nahiin rahe to ye dilaase rahe

usake bandon ko dekhakar kahiye

hamako ummiid kyaa Khudaa se rahe

zindagii kii sharaab maangate ho

ham ko dekho ki pii ke pyaase rahe
