qafas ki tiliyan hain aur main hun
watan se duriyan hain aur main hun

wahi pahle ke jaisi be-qarari
wahi be-khwabiyan hain aur main hun

muqayyad ahd-e-mazi ke khandar mein
meri khush-fahmiyan hain aur main hun

na jugnu hai na hai koi sitara
ajab tarikiyan hain aur main hun

meri tarik raaton ke mushahid
jharoke khidkiyan hain aur main hun

mere ghar mein barae-ham-nawai
meri tanhaiyan hain aur main hun

wahi nasazi-e-qismat ki mujh par
karam-farmaiyan hain aur main hun

na badla hai na badlega ye lahja
wahi be-bakiyan hain aur main hun

wahi haalat se jehd-e-musalsal
wahi nakaamiyan hain aur main hun
