main kis manzil pe aa pahuncha
yahan to chandni odhe hue

raston ka sannata
bahut hi dur tak phaila hua hai

magar main zat ke gahre qafas mein
na jaane kab se qaidi hun khud apna

mere hathon pe ye jo risman hai
girah mein is ki aazadi ke panchhi phadphadate the

magar wo bhi hue be-dam
qafas ke dar pe be-masraf khirad ne

kar liya qabza
har ek diwar hadd-e-asman malum hoti hai

bahut unchi fasil-e-zat hai aur shor-e-girya hai
main is se bhag kar jaun kahan par

yahan to chandni odhe hue raston ka sannata
fasil-e-zat ko dhamka raha hai

kahin rauzan na ho diwar-o-dar mein
ye shor-o-ghul kahin bahar na jae
