apni pahchan koi zamane mein rakh
khud ko zaea na kar kuchh khazane mein rakh

raat ki be-libasi pe mazmun likh
sham ke phul chun ke lifafe mein rakh

raushni ki zarurat padegi tujhe
aag mahfuz kuchh aashiyane mein rakh

jaanta hun mera koi masraf nahin
ek fashion samajh ke hawale mein rakh

sare tiron ko ek sath zaea na kar
farq kuchh to andhere ujale mein rakh
