jaane kis daur ki saza hun main
ibtida hun ki intiha hun main

apni dhadkan se kar mujhe mahsus
sirf sanson ka silsila hun main

tutna hi mera muqaddar hai
khwab hun ya ki aaina hun main

mujh ko sun le qubul bhi kar le
ek nannhi si iltija hun main

zindagi se ajal ke daman tak
chand lamhon ka fasla hun main

koi jhonka mita na paya jise
nam wo ret pe likha hun main

zindagi mujh se haar jaegi
aazmaish ki intiha hun main

mujh se qaem hai raunaq-e-hasti
khud ki hasti se hi khafa hun main

ab jo soya to so hi jaunga
umr bhar jagta raha hun main

jism ki qaid mein raha hun kabhi
aur kabhi jism se riha hun main
