duniya saji hui hai jo bazar ki tarah
main bhi chalunga aaj kharidar ki tarah

tute hon ya purane hon apne to hain yahi
khwabon ko jama karta hun aasar ki tarah

ye aur baat hai ki numayan rahun magar
duniya mujhe chhupae hai aazar ki tarah

meri kitab-e-zist tum ek bar to padho
phir chahe phenk do kisi akhbar ki tarah

ab zindagi ki dhup bhi sidha karegi kya
ab tak main kaj raha teri dastar ki tarah

muddat hui ki ghumta phirta hun raat-din
afkar ke dayar mein nadar ki tarah

is khauf se ki saya bhi apna na chhut jae
ruk ruk ke chal raha hun main bimar ki tarah
