Jalaa chiraag lete hain

andheron mein jalaa chiraag lete hain
khaane mein sarson kaa saag lete hain

baabu suttaa jalaane ke liye aksar hi
ab padosan ke chulhe se aag lete hain

namak ishaq kaa to bahut chakh chukey
ab to sirf saabun kaa jhaag lete hain

is se zyaadaa naa kuch kar paate, bas
kapdon par lipstick ka daag lete hain

hain chhakke lagaate ab yun baaton se
yuvraj to kabhi ban sehwaag lete hain

ab jab bhi aate hain kisi mehfil mein
apni shaayri se khaa dimaag lete hain

jab jhaadu liye biwi daudaati hai tab
chappal haath mein le bhaag lete hain
