kabhi saya hai kabhi dhup muqaddar mera
hota rahta hai yun hi qarz barabar mera

tut jate hain kabhi mere kinare mujh mein
dub jata hai kabhi mujh mein samundar mera

kisi sahra mein bichhad jaenge sab yar mere
kisi jangal mein bhatak jae ga lashkar mera

ba-wafa tha to mujhe puchhne wale bhi na the
be-wafa hun to hua nam bhi ghar ghar mera

kitne hanste hue mausam abhi aate lekin
ek hi dhup ne kumhla diya manzar mera

aakhiri jura-e-pur-kaif ho shayad baqi
ab jo chhalka to chhalak jae ga saghar mera
