kisi khayal ki hiddat se jalna chahti hun
main lafz lafz ghazal mein pighalna chahti hun

ajib mausam-e-dil hai ajib majburi
na khud se ruthun na tum se bichhadna chahti hun

pahan ke khwab-e-qaba dhund lungi chand-nagar
sahaj sahaj kisi baadal pe chalna chahti hun

haqiqaten to mere roz o shab ki sathi hain
main roz o shab ki haqiqat badalna chahti hun

kabhi to khud-nigari ki fasil se bahar
khud apne sath safar par nikalna chahti hun
