bahut jumud hai tari koi khayal zara
naya sa lafz meri khak par uchhaal zara

wo tu hi hai ki main bikhra hun samne jis ke
tu kam-nasib nahin hai mujhe sambhaal zara

bichhadte waqt ye khwahish kahan thi na-jaez
use bhi hota hamari tarah malal zara

nahin jo manta khud ko ki be-misal hai tu
tu apne jaisi dikha de koi misal zara

hansi mein tal de phir se hamari har khwahish
phir ek bar thapak de hamara gal zara

main khud ko rakh na kar dun ye dar satata hai
hisar-e-jism se bahar mujhe nikal zara
