jami hun barf ki surat pighalna chahti hun main
hisar-e-zat se bahar nikalna chahti hun main

diya ban kar nihan-khanon mein jalna chahti hun main
kisi ki ruh ke sanche mein dhalna chahti hun main

juda hoti hi aai hai hamesha 'hir' ranjhe se
ab is rasm-e-mohabbat ko badalna chahti hun main

main jis mitti se aai hun usi mitti mein milne tak
hazaron bar gir kar bhi sambhalna chahti hun main

khizan ke dar se ghabra kar palatna chahta hai wo
har ek mausam mein jis ke sath chalna chahti hun main

mita dala hai yak-jehti ko is firqa-parasti ne
kisi surat bhi ye surat badalna chahti hun main

main chahti hun ki ban jaun kisi ki aarzu 'mina'
kisi ka khwab ban kar dil mein palna chahti hun main
