hangama-e-sukut bapa kar chuke hain hum
ek umr us gali mein sada kar chuke hain hum

apne ghazal-e-dil ka nahin mil raha suragh
sahra se shahr tak to pata kar chuke hain hum

ab tesha-e-nazar se ye dil tutta nahin
is aaine ko sang-numa kar chuke hain hum

har bar apne panw khala mein atak gae
sau bar khud ko rizq-e-hawa kar chuke hain hum

ab is ke baad kuchh bhi nahin ikhtiyar mein
wo jabr tha ki khud ko khuda kar chuke hain hum
