jhalakti hai meri aankhon mein bedari si koi
dabi hai jaise khakistar mein chingari si koi

tadapta tilmilata rahta hun dariya ki manind
padi hai zarb ehsasat par kari si koi

na jaane qaid mein hun ya hifazat mein kisi ki
khinchi hai har taraf ek chaar diwari si koi

kisi bhi mod se mera guzar mushkil nahin hai
mere pairon tale rahti hai hamwari si koi

guman hone laga jab se mujhe qad-awari ka
chala karti hai mere panw par aari si koi

kisi mahfil kisi tanhai mein rukna hai mushkil
mujhe khinche liye jati hai be-zari si koi
