rishton ki kaenat mein simti hui hun main
muddat se apne aap ko bhuli hui hun main

main khush-nasib hun mere apnon ka sath hai
tanhaiyon se phir bhi kyun lipti hui hun main

dam ghontti rahi hun tamanna ka har samay
in hasraton ki qabr sajati rahi hun main

aati hai yaad aap ki mujh ko kabhi kabhi
aisa nahin ki aap ko bhuli hui hun main

us chaara-gar ko zakhm dikhaun ya chup rahun
is kashmakash mein aaj bhi uljhi hui hun main

hun fikrmand aaj ke haalat dekh kar
beti ki man hun is liye sahmi hui hun main

jazbaat kaise nazm karun apne sher mein
kab se isi khayal mein dubi hui hun main

bekar zindagi mein ye kaisi khalish 'siya'
sab kuchh mila hai phir bhi kami dhundhti hun main
