kaam mujh se koi hua hi nahin
baat ye hai ki main to tha hi nahin

mujh se bichhdi jo mauj-e-nikhat-e-yar
phir main us shahr mein raha hi nahin

kis tarah tark-e-muddaa kije
jab koi apna muddaa hi nahin

kaun hun main jo raegan hi gaya
kaun tha jo kabhi mila hi nahin

hun ajab aish-e-gham ki haalat mein
ab kisi se koi gila hi nahin

baat hai raste pe jaane ki
aur jaane ka rasta hi nahin

hai khuda hi pe munhasir har baat
aur aafat ye hai khuda hi nahin

dil ki duniya kuchh aur hi hoti
kya kahen apna bas chala hi nahin

ab to mushkil hai zindagi dil ki
yani ab koi majra hi nahin

har taraf ek hashr barpa hai
'jaun' khud se nikal ke ja hi nahin

mauj aati thi thaharne ki jahan
ab wahan khema-e-saba hi nahin
