aap ki nazron mein shayad is liye achchha hun main
dekhta sunta hun sab kuchh phir bhi chup rahta hun main

is liye mujh se khafa rahti hai aksar ye zamin
aasman ko sar pe le kar ghumta phirta hun main

khak mein milna hi ashkon ka muqaddar hai magar
kya ye kam hai us ki palkon par abhi thahra hun main

khar hi ko ho mubarak khar ki umr-e-daraaz
gul-sifat hun bas jawan hote hi mar jata hun main

baadalon ko shayad is ka koi andaza nahin
ain dariya mein hun lekin kis qadar pyasa hun main

gham-zada dil ko sitam se dur rakhne ke liye
barha khud apne hi dil par sitam dhata hun main

kyun wo mere samne aane se darta hai 'wali'
khamushi fitrat hai meri ek aaina hun main
