jo samajhte the mar gaya hun main
dekh len sab hara-bhara hun main

apne dar mein hi mubtala ho kar
apne andar chhupa hua hun main

sun rahe hain sabhi tawajjoh se
teri baaten jo kar raha hun main

ai hasin shakhs ab teri marzi
teri aankhon pe mar chuka hun main

main bas ek kaam se mila tha use
wo samajhti hai mubtala hun main

apna nuqsan karne wala hun
aaj-kal khud se hi khafa hun main

mujh ko masrufiyat hai daftar ki
wo samajhta hai bewafa hun main

main wahi hun wahi 'saghir' ahmad
tere dil mein kabhi raha hun main
