be-karan wusaton mein tanha hun
khak par suraten banata hun

bazm mein su-e-ittifaq ki main
us ke jaane ke baad aata hun

pyas hai meri zindagi ka pata
main bhi ai rahguzar dariya hun

aur kuchh pal mujhe gawara kar
dubti sham ka tamasha hun

mere suraj tujhe khabar bhi nahin
main teri aas mein hi zinda hun

ek daftar hai meri khamoshi
jaane kya kya sunane aaya hun

mere imkan mein hai us ka yaqin
jis ke hone ka istiara hun
