main apne naqsh bana lun to phir nikalte hain
zara wajud mein aa lun to phir nikalte hain

bahut udae hai ye khak chaar su meri
guman ki khak uda lun to phir nikalte hain

main apne karb ka elan karne wala hun
main khul ke shor macha lun to phir nikalte hain

mujhe tamam ghamon se bichhad ke jaana hai
unhen gale se laga lun to phir nikalte hain

is ek rog ne chhina hai zindagi ka sukun
zara ye bhuk chura lun to phir nikalte hain

mein tark-e-khwahish-e-duniya uthae phirta hun
zara ye lash daba lun to phir nikalte hain

junun ki rah pe ab ishq chal pada 'shahid'
junun ke hosh uda lun to phir nikalte hain
