lafz ki kaenat mein gum hun
fikr mein gum hun baat mein gum hun

tum ho khoe hue zamane mein
main khud apni hi zat mein gum hun

kya ajab tha jo maut aa jati
gham to ye hai hayat mein gum hun

fath ke jashn mein hain sab sarshaar
main to apni hi mat mein gum hun

tum ne jin mushkilon mein chhoda tha
main unhin mushkilat mein gum hun

zahr khana mujhe nahin aata
qand mein aur nabaat mein gum hun

koi aae na dekhne mujh ko
main ajab kaenat mein gum hun

main hun 'mamun' ek ajab insan
kaenat aur zat mein gum hun
