duniya mein rah ke duniya mein shamil nahin hun main
lagta hai is jahan ke qabil nahin hun main

chhinte meri qaba pe hain mere hi khun ke
maqtul hun main dosto qatil nahin hun main

kis haq se rok lun tujhe o jaane wale main
sathi tera sahi teri manzil nahin hun main

khairaat jaan kar mujhe dete ho did kyon
'ashiq hun main janab ka sail nahin hun main

qismat mein meri likkhi hain dar-dar ki thokaren
gard-e-safar hun raunaq-e-mahfil nahin hun main

milna hai khak mein mujhe kahta hai jism ye
deta hai dil sada ki faqat gul nahin hun main

fikr-e-sukhan ko chhod ke aata hai kya mujhe
har-chand is hunar mein bhi kaamil nahin hun main

yun to kami nahin hai kisi chiz ki mujhe
hargiz tere baghair mukammal nahin hun main

agla qadam utha tu 'sada' dil se puchh kar
ab 'aql ki salah ka qail nahin hun main
