kya mila ai zindagi qanun-e-fitrat se mujhe
kuchh mila haq bhi to baatil ki wisatat se mujhe

mere malik main takabbur se nahin hun sar-buland
sar jhuka itna hui nafrat itaat se mujhe

main wo aashiq hun ki khud hi chumta hun apne hath
kab bhala fursat mili apni raqabat se mujhe

main wo tuta aaina hun aap apne samne
jis mein haul aata hai khud apni hi surat se mujhe

main wo patthar hun ki jis mein dudh ki nahren bhi hain
tesha-e-farhad mat thukra hiqarat se mujhe

main wo aalam hun ki har aalam hai mujh mein ham-kanar
tu zara pahchan khud apni shabahat se mujhe

khar-zar-e-dasht main hun aur tu sarw-e-chaman
tu bhala kyun napta hai apne qamat se mujhe

haif kis ke aage lafzon ke diye raushan kiye
kitni ummiden hain andhon ki basarat se mujhe

main kahan baithun ki sae bhi gurezan mujh se hain
ab to diwaren bhi takti hain hiqarat se mujhe

main gareban-chaak tariki mein kab tak munh chhupaun
ab to sharm aane lagi apni nadamat se mujhe

aati hain wahshat-sara-e-dil se aawazen ajab
dekhte hain ab to virane bhi hairat se mujhe

ab agar kuchh bhi nahin hota to shor-e-hashr ho
kam nahin hai itna sannata qayamat se mujhe

kaun nasir mera 'baqar' kis ko mera intizar
ku-e-gum-nami mein hun kya kaam shohrat se mujhe
