mitata hi raha khud ko rulata hi raha khud ko
jala kar khat mohabbat ke bujhata hi raha khud ko

chala kar phone mein shab bhar kahin jagjit ki ghazlen
laga kar kash main cigarette ke jalata hi raha khud ko

hua jo qatl khwabon ka baha aansu ka jo dariya
to phir namkin pani mein dubota hi raha khud ko

wo shair tha ya diwana ya koi gham ka mara tha
akela shakhs tha aisa jo gata hi raha khud ko

jo tuta dil 'musafir' ka to karke band kamre ko
tarannum mein ghazal padh kar sunata hi raha khud ko
