ek aakhiri umid hun ek rasta hun main
chal kar gira hun aur sanbhal kar utha hun main

sunti hai is tarah se meri zindagi mujhe
tute hue ghurur ki bikhri sada hun main

wabasta is qadar tha main aangan ki dhup se
diwar jab uthai gai gir pada hun main

kal raat apne khwab mein pyasa hi mar gaya
dariya teri talash mein jaan se gaya hun main

ek silsila tha pusht thi khanjar tha war tha
hairat-zada hain yar ki ab tak khada hun main

mujh ko nikalni thi kai surajon ki rah
duniya samajh na pai ki kyunkar bujha hun main

hain be-asar ye khun ke dhabbe ye shor-o-ghul
main hun zamir-e-qaum abhi so raha hun main

dekha hai main ne khak bhi sahra bhi dasht bhi
wahshat tere hudud se aage gaya hun main

wahm-o-guman walo mere pas aao to
mujh se nazar milao ki ek aaina hun main
