raat kya soch raha tha main bhi
apne aalam ka khuda tha main bhi

wo bhi kuchh khud se alag tha jaise
apne sae se juda tha main bhi

wo bhi tha ek waraq sada kitab
harf-e-be-saut-o-sada tha main bhi

surat-e-shakh-e-samar-dar tha wo
surat-e-dast-e-saba tha main bhi

wo bhi ek halqa-e-girdab mein tha
aur bas dub chala tha main bhi

phul khilne ka ajab mausam tha
aaina dekh raha tha main bhi
