chhin le quwwat binai khudaya mujh se
dekha jata nahin ab tera tamasha mujh se

ek muddat se aza-dar-e-alam-dar hun main
tutne wala nahin pyas ka rishta mujh se

ghatta rahta hun main viran haweli ki tarah
bhagta phirta hai hangama-e-duniya mujh se

ab kisi mein bhi yahan tab-e-samaat na rahi
koi sunta hi nahin hai mera qissa mujh se

mujh ko har lamha qanaat ne sar-afraaz kiya
muflisi warna tera bojh na uthta mujh se

chain se katti hai ab khema-e-gum-nami mein
koi rishta hi nahin khalq-e-khuda ka mujh se

dekhta hi nahin wo meri bulandi ki taraf
yani sharminda hai ab waqt ka zina mujh se

faqa-masti mein bhi qaem hai meri kaj-kulahi
aur kya chahti hai azmat-e-rafta mujh se

kab utaroge mere jism se ghurbat ka libas
puchhti hai meri diwar-e-shikasta mujh se
