bahaunga na main aansu na muskuraunga
khamosh rah ke saliqe se gham manaunga

karunga kaam wahi jo diya gaya hai mujhe
mein khwab dekhunga aur khwab hi dikhaunga

adhuri baat bhi puri samajhni hogi tumhein
main kuchh bataunga aur kuchh nahin bataunga

main aaj tak nahin mana hun teri duniya ko
tu man jae to main us ko man jaunga

isi sawal ne sone nahin diya shab bhar
tu mujh se puchhega kya aur main kya bataunga

teri kahani mein rakkhunga khud ko kuchh aise
main dastan mein nai dastan banaunga

ye maslahat hai meri buz-dili nahin 'taimur'
jahan zaruri hua hausla dikhaunga
