zaruri kaamon ki fihrist jab banata hun
siwa tumhaare main har baat bhul jata hun

main apne sabr ko is tarah aazmata hun
jhulaste sahra mein shadabiyan ugata hun

mere dimagh pe hawi hai mera pagal-pan
purani aankhon pe chehra naya lagata hun

jise zamana samajhta hai main ne likkhe hain
wo tere git hain jin ko main gungunata hun

tamam khwab saja kar khud apni aankhon mein
main apni nind se aksar fareb khata hun

na jaane kitni hi baaten jo tum se karni thin
tumhaare samne aate hi bhul jata hun

kahin tabah na kar den ye mustaqil khushiyan
udasiyo main tumhein is liye bulata hun
