khud ko pahchana to duniya ajnabi lagne lagi
har talluq mein talluq ki kami lagne lagi

kya zaruri tha ki tum milte raho asna-e-rah
ek muamma si tumhaari be-rukhi lagne lagi

mera mustaqbil na batla dekh koi sun na le
kitni larza-khez teri aagahi lagne lagi

kho gae apne mein khud ko dhundne wale tamam
ab to irfan-e-ana bhi gumrahi lage lagi

khushk ek muddat se tha jo mere aangan ka darakht
ab ke tum aae to patti phir hari lagne lagi
