main ki afsurda makanon mein rahun
aaj bhi guzre zamanon mein rahun

raat hai sar par koi suraj nahin
kis liye phir saebanon mein rahun

kya wasila ho mere izhaar ka
lafz hun gungi zabanon mein rahun

kaun dekhega yahan taqat meri
tir hun tuti kamanon mein rahun

bhediye hain chaar-su biphre hue
niche utrun ya machanon mein rahun

mere hone ka ho kuchh to faeda
hun hawa to baadbanon mein rahun

rabta rakhkhun zaminon se magar
aasmanon ki udanon mein rahun

ye bhi kya 'fakhri' ki purzon ki tarah
raat din main kar-khanon mein rahun
