ek din khud ko apne pas bithaya hum ne
pahle yar banaya phir samjhaya hum ne

khud bhi aakhir-kar unhi wadon se bahle
jin se sari duniya ko bahlaya hum ne

bhid ne yunhi rahbar man liya hai warna
apne alawa kis ko ghar pahunchaya hum ne

maut ne sari raat hamari nabz tatoli
aisa marne ka mahaul banaya hum ne

ghar se nikle chauk gae phir park mein baithe
tanhai ko jagah jagah bikhraya hum ne

in lamhon mein kis ki shirkat kaisi shirkat
use bula kar apna kaam badhaya hum ne

duniya ke kachche rangon ka rona roya
phir duniya par apna rang jamaya hum ne

jab 'shaariq' pahchan gae manzil ki haqiqat
phir raste ko raste bhar uljhaya hum ne
