bahut kuchh be-irada kar chuka hun
ana se istifada kar chuka hun

abhi bhi zindagi na-mehrban hai
bahut lahje ko sada kar chuka hun

mujhe to sabr ki aadat nahin thi
magar had se ziyaada kar chuka hun

na jaen gham ke mausam un ki marzi
tabassum ko labaada kar chuka hun

zamane-bhar ki yaro talkhiyon ko
main khud ka khanwada kar chuka hun

masarrat dur hai ab bhi ki main to
bahut daman kushada kar chuka hun

hamesha in ko main taza rakhunga
main zakhmon se ye wada kar chuka hun

wo baaten kar rahe hain jis safar ki
main kab ka pa-piyaada kar chuka hun
