khincha hua hai gardish-e-aflak ne mujhe
khud se nahin utarne diya chaak ne mujhe

mauj-e-hawa mein tairta phirta tha main kahin
phir yun hua ki khinch liya khak ne mujhe

main raushni mein aa ke pasheman bahut hua
uryan kiya hai ishq ki poshak ne mujhe

aaine ki tarah tha main shaffaf o aab-dar
gadla diya hai chashm-e-hawas-nak ne mujhe

khushbu sa main ghilaf ke andar muqim tha
aur kho diya hai sina-e-sad-chaak ne mujhe

apne siwa jahan mein koi sujhta nahin
la phenka hai kahan mere idrak ne mujhe
