utha rahe ho jo yun apne aastan se mujhe
nikal kyun nahin dete ho dastan se mujhe

khabar nahin hai ki main kis ghadi chala jaun
sadaen aane lagin ab to aasman se mujhe

ye jaanta hi nahin hun kahan main bhul aaya
wo ek raaz jo kahna tha raaz-dan se mujhe

nikal sakta nahin hun main dil se hubb-e-husain
wirasaton mein mili jo ki apni man se mujhe

main jaanta hun agar aaj tum ganwa doge
talash karna hai kal tum ne phir yahan se mujhe

jo zakhm zakhm hun tanon ke tir kha kha ke
to mar kyun nahin dete ho ab ke jaan se mujhe

guzar gaya hai jo lamha wo phir nahin aaya
mila hai dars yahi umr-e-raegan se mujhe

pahunch to jaunga main bhi yaqin ke sahil par
nikale koi to 'arshad' par is guman se mujhe
