is mein kya shak hai ki aawara hun main
kuche kuche mein phira karta hun main

mujh se sarzad hote rahte hain gunah
aadmi hun kyun kahun achchha hun main

saf-o-shaffaf aasman ko dekh kar
gandi gandi galiyan bakta hun main

qahwa-khanon mein basar karta hun din
qahba-khanon mein sahar karta hun main

din guzarta hai mera ahbab mein
raat ko footpath par sota hun main

bit kar jati hai chidiya tant par
azmat-e-adam ka aaina hun main

kanch si gudiyon ke narm aasab par
surat-e-sang-e-hawas padta hun main

nazukon ke naz uthane ke bajae
nazukon se naz uthwata hun main

dusron ko kya pata apna bataun
ab to khud apne liye anqa hun main

mujh se puchhe hurmat-e-kaba koi
masjidon mein choriyan karta hun main

mujh se likhwae koi hijw-e-sharab
mai-kadon mein qarz ki pita hun main

main chhupata hun barahna khwahishen
wo samajhti hai ki sharmila hun main

kis qadar bad-namiyan hain mere sath
kya bataun kis qadar tanha hun main

khwab-awar goliyon se ai 'shuur'
khud-kushi ki koshishen karta hun main
