jab se qiston mein bat gaya hun main
apne mehwar se hat gaya hun main

jab shanasa na mil saka koi
apni jaanib palat gaya hun main

mera saya bhi badh gaya mujh se
is saliqe se ghat gaya hun main

mil gae jo bhi mutmain lamhe
un se fauran lipat gaya hun main

raushni jab badhi meri jaanib
do-qadam pichhe hat gaya hun main

aarzu tis karb tanhai
khud mein kitna simat gaya hun main

apni pahchan ho gai mushkil
gard mein itna at gaya hun main
