ek main hun ek tu hai ba-khabar koi nahin
hath mein de hath apna sar-ba-sar koi nahin

sham mushfiq hai qarib aa dard ka darman karen
raat ke sahra mein apna chaara-gar koi nahin

ret ke sine pe rah rah kar chamak uthta hai kuchh
ab ba-juz ek naqsh-e-pa ke rahbar koi nahin

mod ke baen taraf hai sang andazon ka shahr
dil sa aaina na le ja shishagar koi nahin

jaane ye aaseb hai kis ki sada ka dar-ba-dar
main yahan hun main yahan hun dida-war koi nahin

dhundte phirte ho kis ko chand ki mashal liye
zindagi ek fasla hai muntazar koi nahin
