din aaya na malbus badal ke na nikhar ke
aur log bhi nikle na shagufta na chamakdar

tab main ne socha mere kaghaz ke ghubbare na nachen to behtar hai
ek umr ka sadma hai bahut talkh zamin ko

na salgirah aaj manaun main to behtar
wo bhi nahin khush aur na khush din ka guzar hai

ai umr tera sakht akele ka safar hai
tab main ne kaha chand agar apne badan ko

aurat ka badan de to main kanton ke taraazu
dil de ke badal lun

dil de ke badal lun main qayamat bhi gahan bhi
aur un ke ewaz us se kahun aaj ke din to

ruk meri zamin par
taqdir hawa ban ke darakhton mein khadi hai

aur main ai ajab chiz chatanon pe gira hun
