main jagta hun koi nazm sar uthae to
use main sina-e-qirtas par raqam kar dun

mere dukhon ki salibon pe kaise kaise badan
latak rahe hain numaish ko ek muddat se

main ek sans mein kaise jiya hun kaise mara
ho mere hath ki tahrir mein likha shayad

koi shikan mere mazi ki aks ho shayad
main apna ek sitam karsaz karne ko

hazaron khwahishon ka ek jal bunta hun
wo jal salha-salon se lipta rahta hai

mere wajud ke la-intiha darichon par
