palkon pe ruka qatra-e-muztar ki tarah hun
bahar se bhi bechain main andar ki tarah hun

bahar se mere jism ki diwar khadi hai
andar se main ek tute hue ghar ki tarah hun

nazron se gira do ki mujhe dewta mano
patthar ke tarashe hue paikar ki tarah hun

chhai hain mere sar pe siyah-posh ghataen
main subh mein bhi sham ke manzar ki tarah hun

andar ki chatanon se na takra ke bikhar jaun
main biphra hua khud pe samundar ki tarah hun

tum jalwa-numa ho to khuli hain meri aankhen
aa lipto badan se to main chadar ki tarah hun

rahta hai kahin jism bhatakti hai kahin ruh
ghar mein hun magar aaj main be-ghar ki tarah hun

aqdar ki uthti hui diwar mein chun lo
raste mein pada main kisi patthar ki tarah hun
