khud apni khwahishen khak-e-badan mein bone ko
mera wajud tarasta hai mere hone ko

ye dekhna hai ki bari meri kab aaegi
khada hun sahil-e-dariya pe lab bhigone ko

abhi se kya rakhen aankhon pe sare din ka hisab
abhi to raat padi hai ye bojh dhone ko

na koi takiya-e-gham hai na koi chadar-e-khwab
hamein ye kaun sa bistar mila hai sone ko

wo dur tha to bahut hasraten thin pane ki
wo mil gaya hai to ji chahta hai khone ko
