mere lahu ki tamazat hai aur akela main
andheri shab ki masafat hai aur akela main

mere qabile mein bhi sach ka qatl hota hai
wahi purani riwayat hai aur akela main

nae shuur ka insan mujh mein zinda hai
zamane bhar ki malamat hai aur akela main

main apni jang mein nakaam ho nahin sakta
mere khayal ki taqat hai aur akela main

talash ka ye safar itna sahl bhi to nahin
koi bala koi dahshat hai aur akela main

meri ghazal ye mera fan ye shaeri 'shaukat'
nae dinon ki bashaarat hai aur akela main
