sirf nuqsaan hotaa hai yaaro — Mahaveer Uttaranchali

kaash hotaa maza kahaani mein
dil miraa bujh gayaa javaani mein

ye kaDvaa sach hai yaaron muflisi kaa
yahaan har aankh mein hain TuuTe sapne

hai mushkil daur sukhi roTiyaan bhi duur hain ham se
maze se tum kabhi kaaju kabhi kishmish chabaate ho

yaar bhi raah ki divaar samajhte hain mujhe
main samajhtaa thaa mire yaar samajhte hain mujhe

barseingi aaj rahmatein aamad hai yaar ki
naayaab hain ye ghaDiyaan tire intizaar ki

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

'mushafi' kyunke chhupe un se miraa dard-e-nihaan
yaar to baat ke andaaz se paa jaate hain

dud-e-aah-e-jigari kaam na aayaa yaaro
varna ru-e-shab-e-hijr aur bhi kaalaa kartaa

fan jo meaar tak nahin pahunchaa
apne shahkaar tak nahin pahunchaa
