aql thi aagahi ne mar diya
did ko raushni ne mar diya

ek bekas tha jis ke khwabon ko
us ki be-chaargi ne mar diya

hum ne chaha ki baat ban jae
zist ki be-rukhi ne mar diya

dekh kar pani mar gaya pyasa
us ko sachchi khushi ne mar diya

tha jo apna bana wo an-jaana
phir usi ajnabi ne mar diya

kya tajjub ki koi baat nahin
aadmi aadmi ne mar diya
