harf hun apne maani dhundhta hun
mein haqiqat mein kahani dhundhta hun

tang aa kar tangi-e-kaun-o-makan se
apne andar be-karani dhundhta hun

chhanta hun khak sahra-e-adam mein
apne hone ki nishani dhundhta hun

meri har jaanib nae chehre saje hain
ab koi surat purani dhundhta hun

mangta hun tarz-e-nau rasm-e-kuhan se
khushk dariya mein rawani dhundhta hun

aarzu ke bich mutthi mein dabae
zist ke sahra mein pani dhundhta hun

harf ki hiddat se lab jalne lage hain
ab zaban-e-be-zabani dhundhta hun

jo sikha de aashti ahl-e-zamin ko
wo kitab-e-asmani dhundhta hun
