ruh meri alag hai jaan alag
zat ka na-tawan makan alag

har taraf phailti hui kirnen
ek andhere ka khandan alag

ek zarra hun aur kuchh bhi nahin
hun bahut kuchh hai ye guman alag

qaid hain aankh mein kai sapne
aur hai fikr ki udan alag

ek taraf shor khana-e-dil mein
aql rahti hai be-zaban alag

kar raha hai nasib ki baaten
aur tadbir par hai man alag

dubte tairte hue qisse
aur hairat ki dastan alag
