mere wajud ko parchhaiyon ne tod diya
main ek hisar tha tanhaiyon ne tod diya

baham jo mahfil-e-aghyar mein rahe the kabhi
ye silsila bhi shanasaiyon ne tod diya

bas ek rabt nishani tha apne purkhon ki
ise bhi aaj mere bhaiyon ne tod diya

tu be-khabar hai magar nind se bhari ladki
mera badan teri angdaiyon ne tod diya

khizan ki rut mein bhi main shakh se nahin tuta
mujhe bahaar ki purwaiyon ne tod diya

mera bharam tha yahi ek meri tanhai
ye ek bharam bhi tamashaiyon ne tod diya
