kis ki aarzu thi main
kis ki ho gai hun main

ki khud ko bhi nahin milti
kahin to kho gai hun main

yahi thi chahti kahna
kuchh aur hi kah gai hun main

faraez tere parche mein
saf-e-awwal rahi hun main

rahin-e-ashiqi hun main
musalsal tukdon mein ji kar

musalsal mar rahi hun main
hai sab se ittifaq apna

ki khud se lad rahi hun main
ye izzat bojh hai shayad

jahan par dab gai hun main
har ek shab jagte guzri

ki sone kab gai hun main
sada tahzib bhi hun main

sada tahrik bhi hun main
kabhi tu ghaur to kar le

kahin tafriq bhi hun main
kabhi bezar bhi hun main

kabhi gham-khwar bhi hun main
agar kuchh waqt pad jae

suno talwar bhi hun main
khadi hai jo ki tufan mein

wahi chattan bhi hun main
mukammal ek nazuk sa

koi gul-dan bhi hun main
ai ibn-e-adam-e-dawar

khayal-e-bint-e-hawwa kar
