dhund chhatne ke intizar mein hun
main abhi apne hi ghubar mein hun

jis ko aaseb kah rahe hain log
main usi ishq ke hisar mein hun

shor aangan mein hai to hota rahe
main to dastak ke intizar mein hun

marka khatm kyon nahin hota
kab se masruf aar-par mein hun

zindagi aur chiz hoti hai
main to sanson ke karobar mein hun

ye meri pyas ka ilaqa hai
yani aankhon ke aabshaar mein hun

kal tha main sahib-e-yad-e-baiza
ab andheron ke ikhtiyar mein hun

aakhiri aadmi hun main 'tariq'
aur main aakhiri qatar mein hun
