use malum hai main sar-phira hun
magar khush hai ki us ko chahta hun

ye basti kab darindon se thi khali
main phir bhi thik logon mein raha hun

jo chahe wo mujhe be-dam le le
kharidaron ke hathon kam bika hun

teri chahat bahana hai yaqin kar
ba-har surat main khud ko chahta hun

zara sun be-niyaz-e-lams sun le
main tujh ko chhu ke khud ko bhulta hun

kahan toda hai main ne shakh se gul
main shakh-e-gul pe gul ko manta hun
