phir sar pe sham aa gai main raste mein hun
ek ajnabi sadak hai kisi hadse mein hun

ek gard-baad hai mujhe hadd-e-nigah tak
tanha nahin hun dhul-bhare qafile mein hun

tanhaiyon ne phir tera chehra pahan liya
tere baghair bhi main tere daere mein hun

tu ne to mujh ko aks-e-muqayyad samajh liya
thodi si der aur tere aaine mein hun

mera bhi zikr tha tere dil ki kitab mein
qirtas par nahin hun magar hashiye mein hun

sau sal mujh pe bite hain suraj bujhe hue
sau sal jaisi raat se main ratjage mein hun

patthar ki murti mein hai sadiyon ka intizar
main bhi asir-e-jism hun aur faisle mein hun

phir be-ghari ka khauf hawaon mein ghul gaya
sat aasman tere hain main ghonsle mein hun
