misal-e-barg main khud ko udana chahti hun
hawa-e-tund pe maskan banana chahti hun

wo jin ki aankhon mein hota hai zindagi mein malal
usi qabile se khud ko milana chahti hun

jahan ke band hain sadiyon se mujh pe darwaze
main ek bar usi ghar mein jaana chahti hun

sitam-shiar ki chaukhat pe adl ki zanjir
bara-e-dad-rasi ab hilana chahti hun

na-jaane kaise guzarungi hijr ki saat
ghadi ko tod ke sab bhul jaana chahti hun

masafaton ko mile manzil-e-talab 'nainan'
wafa ki rah mein apna thikana chahti hun
