zamin panw tale sar pe aasman liye
nida-e-ghaib ko jata hun bahre kan liye

main badh raha hun kisi rad-e-abr ki jaanib
badan ko tark kiye aur apni jaan liye

ye mera zarf ki main ne asasa-e-shab se
bas ek khwab liya aur chand shama-dan liye

main sath-e-ab pe apne qadam jama lunga
badan ki aag liye aur kisi ka dhyan liye

main chal padunga sitaron ki raushni le kar
kisi wajud ke markaz ko darmiyan liye

parinde mera badan dekhte the hairat se
main ud raha tha khala mein ajib shan liye

qalil waqt mein yun main ne irtikaz kiya
bas ek jahan ke andar kai jahan liye

abhi to mujh se meri sans bhi thi na-manus
ki dast-e-marg ne neze badan pe tan liye

zamin khadi hai kai lakh nuri salon se
kisi hayat-e-musalsal ki dastan liye
