faqir apna wajud aise sanbhaalte hain
tadapte rahte hain aur khud ko sanwarte hain

nae jahanon ki justuju ras aa gai hai
so kahkashaon mein zindagani guzarte hain

hamari aankhon mein bain karti udasiyan hain
tumhaare honton pe muskurahat ke qumqume hain

khabar nahin nind kaise naraaz ho gai hai
hamari gathdi mein sirf barson ke ratjage hain

kisi dilase kisi tasalli ka aasra kya
hum apna ghussa bhi apni had mein utarte hain
