ret mutthi mein bhari pani se aaghaz kiya
sakht mushkil mein tha aasani se aaghaz kiya

mujh ko mitti se badan bante hue umr lagi
meri tamir ne virani se aaghaz kiya

ye jahanon ka zamanon ka makanon ka safar
ghaib ne lafz se ya mani se aaghaz kiya

jab bhi ye aankh anasir ki taraf dekhti hai
yaad aata hai pareshani se aaghaz kiya

jism aur ism mujhe kaise mile kis ne diye
in sawalat ki hairani se aaghaz kiya

ek khamosh samundar tha mere chaar taraf
jis mein aawaz ne tughyani se aaghaz kiya

mujh ko bad-surati-e-jism ka andaza hai
main ne aaina-e-uryani se aaghaz kiya
