khud apna aks hun ki kisi ki sada hun main
yun shahr ta-ba-shahr jo bikhra hua hun main

main dhundne chala hun jo khud apne-ap ko
tohmat ye mujh pe hai ki bahut khud-numa hun main

mujh se na puchh nam mera ruh-e-kaenat
ab aur kuchh nahin hun tera aaina hun main

jab nind aa gai ho sada-e-jaras ko bhi
meri khata yahi hai ki kyun jagta hun main

laun kahan se dhundh ke main apna ham-nawa
khud apne har khayal se takra chuka hun main

ai umr-e-rafta main tujhe pahchanta nahin
ab mujh ko bhul ja ki bahut bewafa hun main
