guzar raha hun siyah andhe faslon se main
na ab hun rah se ibarat na manzilon se main

kahan kahan se alag kar sakoge tum mujh ko
juda hua hun yahan lakh silsilon se main

qadam milane mein sab kar rahe the quwwaten sarf
mila hun rah mein kitne hi qafilon se main

main us ke panw ki zanjir dekhta tha bahut
kuchh aashna na tha apni hi mushkilon se main

ajib log hain kuchh kah do man lete hain
hua hun zer bahut zud qatilon se main

kaho to sath baha le chalun ye dukh bhare shahr
guzar raha hun ajab khasta sahilon se main

main kyun burai sunun doston ki ai 'bani'
alag nahin unhin khote khare dilon se main
