salib lad ke kandhe pe chal raha hun main
hisar-e-zat se bahar nikal raha hun main

hayat dhundhti phirti hai mujh ko sar-gardan
adhura jism liye rukh badal raha hun main

bana diya hai zamane ne mujh ko patthar sa
ki zarb-e-tesha se aatish ugal raha hun main

meri nigah mein duniya chita ki rakh si hai
isi khayal ke shoalon mein jal raha hun main

bula rahi hai mujhe apne ghar ki virani
miyan-e-shor-e-salasil machal raha hun main

zamana dhundega mujh ko dur-e-sadaf ki tarah
ki bund bund samundar mein dhal raha hun main
