jab pas nahin kuchh bhi mere
khwahish maqsad aadarsh ke tute aaine

phir gardish-e-roz-o-shab ka mujhe ehsas hai kyun
kya gham mujh ko jab subh ki koi fikr nahin

aur sham-e-alam se dar bhi nahin
wo panw mein ab chakkar bhi nahin

sae ki koi hajat bhi nahin
ab maut ka khatka koi khalish mauhum tamanna ka arman

kuchh bhi to nahin
phir kaise main kahta hun mujhe

mausam ke badalte rangon ka ehsas hai bas
aisa to nahin main mar bhi chuka

aur koi nahin hai nauha-kunan
(mazi ki riwayat, haal ka gham farda ki umiden kya hongi)

jab un se nahin main wabasta
phir kya hai koi raaz to hai

ek aag si jalti rahti hai rag rag mein meri
ek be-mani sa dard mera ehsas jagata rahta hai

is tarah ki main sab kuchh yunhi mahsus karun aur kuchh na kahun
jab tak ye jahannam raushan hai

main zinda hun
