Aaj Ke Shayar

Aaj ke shayar

Apni hi roshni mein naha rahhe ho tum,

Dosron ko bhi ujagar karo tu jane.

Apna hi deep teal se bharre jatte ho,

Dosrre bharre deep bhi jalao tu jane

Likhte ho tum garibi aur bewafae par,

Ye sitam jhel bhi pao tu jane

Rehte khate ho tum alishan hotelon mein,

Kabhi footpath par rahho pakao tu jane.

Ye manna shohrat ke phool tumare pass hai,

Mudat tak khushboo phelaa pao tu jane,

Shayar tu bahut mil jaengge lekin,

Ik agar ‘sahir’ ban pao tu jane.
