main ki la-intiha waqt ki rahguzar par
sirf ek lamha-e-mukhtasar

main ki ehsas-o-afkar ke bahr-e-zakhkhar mein
sirf ek qatra-e-muztarib mein ki sahra-e-hasti ki tapti hui ret par

sirf ek zarra sar-nigun
main ki ek wusat kaenat-e-hasin mein

sirf ek nuqta-e-be-sukun
main wo qatra ki jis mein samundar ki betabiyan maujzan hain

wo lamha jo mustaqbil-o-haal-o-mazi ka aaina hai
main wo nuqta ki jo gardish-e-dahr ka aashna hai

main wo zarra ki sahra-e-hasti ki tishna-labi
apne dil mein chhupae

main wo ek jism-e-nazuk ki jo
nasl-e-insan ke dard aur isyan ka bar-e-garan

apne sar par uthae
main wo ek chashm-e-pur-shauq jis ke liye wusat-e-dasht-o-sahra bhi kam thi

main ne phir chand taron par dali kamanden
aasmanon ke wo jagmagate makin

is anokhi jasarat pe sab muskurae
main ki khud mahram-e-zauq-e-parwaz

hamraaz sar-e-bulandi
chand taron ki mahfil se nazren churae

main ki khud saghar-e-shauq
paimana-e-jazb-o-masti

halqa-e-mai-gusaran se daman bachae
main ki khud jurat-e-ehtiram-e-did

khud jurat-e-ehtiram
sirf ek jurat-e-arzu par pasheman

main ki khud sare aalam ke dard-o-alam ki amin
apne zakhmon ke aatish-nawai pe khandan

main ki har raaz-e-sar-basta se aashna
main ki aahang-e-hasti ki hamraaz hun

main hun sadiyon ki khoi hui ek sada
main anasir ka tuta hua saz hun
