adu ke shahr mein kab be-asar hun
khuda ka shukr hai jo mo'atabar hun

sitara hun ki main raushan qamar hun
dua man ki hai jis ka main samar hun

bahaaren kyun na phir se laut aaen
unhen malum hai main bhi idhar hun

isi sahra se meri nisbaten hain
jahan ka main hi ek wahid shajar hun

mohabbat jurm hai kis ne kaha hai
bata do sab ko main dil mein agar hun

bala ka hausla mujh ko mila hai
bahut dushwar hai rasta jidhar hun

jise sun kar sabhi hairan hain kyun
tumhein lagta hai main aisi khabar hun

dariche mein jo rakkha jal raha hai
diya aisa hawa ke dosh par hun

bulandi chhu ke aaun aasman ki
parinda hun sada mahw-e-safar hun

tumhaare ahd ki hun munharif to
saza mil kar rahegi ba-khabar hun
