haqiqat kya bataun zindagi ki
use lat pad gai hai aadmi ki

ye ghar mein saen saen sun rahe ho
yahi aawaz to hai khamushi ki

mere qadmon mein gir kar waqt roya
sui ulti ghumai jab ghadi ki

kabhi bahar jo nikle panw mere
to ghutne mod kar chadar badi ki

mujhe jab dhundne koi na aaya
to main ne khud hi apni mukhbiri ki

suna hai qais ne sahra se aa kar
misalen din meri diwangi ki
