mujh mein maujud hai jo chaak nahin khulta kuchh
ye mera dida-e-namnak nahin khulta kuchh

naqsh ubhrega koi ya ki nahin ubhrega
kya hai poshida tah-e-khak nahin khulta kuchh

ye to tai hai ki ab is dil ka ziyan lazim hai
wo hai masum ki chaalak nahin khulta kuchh

muntazir kaun se main aalam-e-asbab ka hun
kya hai ab qismat-e-khashak nahin khulta kuchh

kyun bhala us ki nishani nahin milti mujh ko
kyun bhala ghurfa-e-idrak nahin khulta kuchh

ab ye kya hai mere atraf nahin aata samajh
aur ye matla-e-pechaak nahin khulta kuchh

band kyun ashk na hon tab-e-rawan se ai 'tur'
wo bhi to surat-e-aflak nahin khulta kuchh
