fikr-e-sud-o-ziyan mein rahta hun
main bhi is khak-dan mein rahta hun

nilgun aasman ke niche
khema-e-jism-o-jaan mein rahta hun

main hun aazad kab zamane mein
qaid-e-wahm-o-guman mein rahta hun

main mohabbat ki raushni ban kar
waqt ki kahkashan mein rahta hun

main bahaaron ke rang mein dhal kar
manzar-e-bostan mein rahta hun

jaane kya baat hai ki main tanha
mahfil-e-dostan mein rahta hun

apne budhe wajud ke andar
ek shikasta makan mein rahta hun

fikr-e-itlaf-e-zindagi kaisa
main ajal ki aman mein rahta hun

main bagulon ke darmiyan 'shahid'
dasht-e-asr-e-rawan mein rahta hun
