dil-e-sad-chaak mein kya rah gaya hai
lahu bah bah ke aadha rah gaya hai

jahanbani raha tha jis ka shewa
wo bilkul be-sahaara rah gaya hai

bana baithe hain kitne but jahan mein
jo sachcha hai wo tanha rah gaya hai

adawat ke ye kis ne bij boe
har ek insan akela rah gaya hai

tujhe 'sadi' thi dariya ki bashaarat
magar aankhon mein sahra rah gaya hai
