yaadon mein rang bhar raha hun
zakhmon ko gulab kar raha hun

har sans ek an-suni si aahat
main jaane kis pe mar raha hun

duniyaen wajud pa rahi hain
reza reza bikhar raha hun

ek lamha-e-gum-shuda ki khatir
sadiyon ka hisab kar raha hun

maqsud-e-safar hai kuchh to aisa
shoalon se jo guzar raha hun

hai ek junun-e-khud-shanasi
akasr apne hi sar raha hun

tufan guzar chuka hai kab ka
ab dariya sa utar raha hun

rishte mazbut ho rahe hain
peshaniyon par ubhar raha hun

tha fakhr bahut falak-rasi par
khud apne par ab katar raha hun
