bhari hai aag jebon mein kaf-e-afsos malte hain
hamari hi kamai se hamare hath jalte hain

mere atraf mein ye khincha-tani kam nahin hoti
idhar pahlu badalta hun udhar jale badalte hain

kisi ko bhi wo angara dikhai hi nahin deta
ishaare se batata hun to apne hath jalte hain

main apne jism se bahar hun ya ruhon ka maskan hai
unhen main chhu nahin pata jo mere sath chalte hain

hamare chaak par uqba kai shaklen badalti hai
ye jannat aur jahannum to hamare sath chalte hain

nazar-andaz karke sab guzar jate hain mujh mein se
nafi karte hue mujh mein kai raste nikalte hain

sada ban kar bahut takrae hain minar-o-gumbad se
ab aankhen khul gai hain to andhere se nikalte hain
