ab tak jo ji chuka hun janam gin raha hun main
duniya samajh rahi hai ki gham gin raha hun main

matruk raste mein laga sang-e-mil hun
bhatke hue ke sidhe qadam gin raha hun main

table se gir ke raat ko tuta hai ek gilas
batti jala ke apni raqam gin raha hun main

tadad jaanna hai ki kitne mare hain aaj
jo chal nahin sake hain wo bam gin raha hun main

main santari hun auraton ki jail ka huzur
do-chaar qaidi is liye kam gin raha hun main

'arish' surahi-dar si gardan ke sehr mein
zamzam si guftugu ko bhi ram gin raha hun main
