tum se bhi ab to ja chuka hun main
dur-ha-dur aa chuka hun main

ye bahut gham ki baat ho shayad
ab to gham bhi ganwa chuka hun main

is guman-e-guman ke aalam mein
aakhirash kya bhula chuka hun main

ab babar sher ishtiha hai meri
shairon ko to kha chuka hun main

main hun meamar par ye batla dun
shahr ke shahr dah chuka hun main

haal hai ek ajab faraghat ka
apna har gham mana chuka hun main

log kahte hain main ne jog liya
aur dhuni rama chuka hun main

nahin imla durust 'ghaalib' ka
'shefta' ko bata chuka hun main
