manzilen kya bataen main kya hun
zindagi ka udas rasta hun

tu kharosh-e-talatum-e-dariya
main sukut-e-sarab-e-sahra hun

kaam aai na kuchh shanasai
shahar ki bhid mein akela hun

main teri justuju ke sahra mein
raqs karta hua bagula hun

khar-o-khas hi sahi magar yaro
main bhi sahn-e-chaman ka hissa hun

chashm-e-ibrat se dekhiye mujh ko
apni tahzib ka janaza hun

aap apni sunaiye 'masum'
meri kya puchhte hain achchha hun
