rah mein surat-e-naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa rahta hun
har ghadi banne bigadne ko pada rahta hun

umr-e-rafta na kabhi aae manane ke liye
muddaten guzrin ki jine se khafa rahta hun

sifat-e-kina mera ghar hai falak ke dil mein
girah-e-dushman-e-khatir mein bandha rahta hun

fitna-e-hashr ye kahta hai mujhe puchhe kaun
daman-e-yar ke gosha mein pada rahta hun

qaid hun par sitam-e-ghaflat-e-jauhar se 'munir'
ghussa ban kar dil-e-zindan mein bhara rahta hun
