bas itna jaanti hun zindagi ko
kahan jine diya us ne kisi ko

mahak uthta hai koi zakhm phir se
chatakte dekhti hun jab kali ko

use main chand kaise kah sakungi
tarasti hun main jis ki chandni ko

tayyun mat karo tum zaiqon ka
mujhe chakhne do apni zindagi ko

nahin 'pinhan' ye shohrat ka wasila
ibaadat jaanti hun shairi ko
