apne haalat ka asir hun main
dard ki daulat-e-kasir hun main

jama kar kar ke apni mahrumi
ban gaya kis qadar amir hun main

mere zahir ko dekhne wale
ek baatin ghani faqir hun main

aazma le tu jis tarah chahe
hun to kam-maya ba-zamir hun main

tu hai anwar-e-be-karan tu bata
kis ka ek para-e-munir hun main

ye sawal ab tere bachao ka hai
teri khinchi agar lakir hun main

koi harf-e-talab na harf-e-sawal
aisa ek boriya-pazir hun main

teri kirnon ne tarbiyat ki hai
mana ek zarra-e-haqir hun main

khatm mujh par hai infirad mera
aap apni hi ek nazir hun main

ek tahzib ke sahife ka
shayad ab hissa-e-akhir hun main

'tarzi' karta hun phir rafu daman
yani ek said-e-tark-o-gir hun mein
