zoam-e-hasti mere idrak se bandha gaya hai
aur badan turra-e-pechaak se bandha gaya hai

ek aansu teri poshak se bandha gaya hai
ya sitara koi aflak se bandha gaya hai

ishq ko gesu-e-pechaak se bandha gaya hai
aur phir gardish-e-aflak se bandha gaya hai

khak udata hun main ta-umr nibhane ke liye
ek rishta jo mera khak se bandha gaya hai

tute padte hain tamashe ko yahan par nakhchir
aaj sayyaad ko fitrak se bandha gaya hai

kisht-e-wahshat ho jise dekhni aae dekhe
har bagula khas-o-khashak se bandha gaya hai

phir wahi harf-e-tamanna hai wahi saat-e-dard
phir hamein dida-e-namnak se bandha gaya hai

ab kisi kuza-gari ki nahin hajat ki mujhe
ta fana ek isi chaak se bandha gaya hai

hum gunahgaron ki hai aakhiri ummid wahi
ahd ek jo shah-e-laulak se bandha gaya hai

kuja ye shokh-ada duniya kuja main 'irfan'
mard-e-sada zan-e-bebak se bandha gaya hai
