khud ko khudi ka aaina dikhla raha hun main
apna harif aap bana ja raha hun main

qismat ki pastiyon ki haden khatm ho chukin
ab rifaton ki samt uda ja raha hun main

nakaam-e-arzu hun magar uf yaqin-e-ishq
danista phir fareb-e-wafa kha raha hun

mohar-e-sukut-e-lab pe hai bahke hue qadam
ai be-khudi phir aaj kidhar ja raha hun main

phir dekhta hun chehra-e-mazi ke khadd-o-khal
saqi sambhaal hosh mein phir aa raha hun main

ruk jae jis ke shor se dasht-o-jabal ki sans
us sail-e-ranj-o-gham mein baha ja raha hun main

jaane ko hun ahata-e-alam se dur-tar
bas chand roz tum ko nazar aa raha hun main

shams-o-qamar hain rah mein zarraat ki tarah
kis ki tajalliyon mein ghira ja raha hun main

tha jo khayal teri jafaon se peshtar
dil ko usi khayal se bahla raha hun main

badh badh ke 'raj mere qadam le rahi hai maut
kis zindagi ki samt badha ja raha hun main
