apne ko talash kar raha hun
apni hi talab se dar raha hun

tum log ho aandhiyon ki zad mein
main qaht-e-hawa se mar raha hun

khud apne hi qalb-e-khun-chakan mein
khanjar ki tarah utar raha hun

ai shahr-e-khayal ke musafir
kya main tera ham-safar raha hun

diwar pe daere hain kaise
ye kaun hai kis se dar raha hun

main shabnam-e-chashm-e-tar se ai subh
kal raat bhi tar-ba-tar raha hun

ek shakhs se talkh-kaam ho kar
har shakhs ko pyar kar raha hun

ai dajla-e-khun zara thaharna
is rah se main guzar raha hun

fariyaad ki zer-e-saya-e-gul
main zahr-e-khizan se mar raha hun
