khud sawal-o-jawab karte raho
apne dil se hisab karte raho

kyun ye arman yun hi mar jae
talab-e-aftab karte raho

chandni ho ya chand ho khud hi
tum to niyyat kharab karte raho

chahe tarjih koi de ya nahin
khud ko yun hi sarab karte raho

jab talak jism tut kar na gire
zindagi be-naqab karte raho
