main kab tak
yunhi khandani shujaat sharafat ki tarikh rakhta rahunga

yunhi apne aslaf ki shan-o-shaukat ki baaten karunga
main mazi nahin hun

main apne mein maujud jita raha hun
main apne qadam ki sulagti zamin par hi chalta raha hun

zamane ki bhatti mein tapta raha hun
mere waqt ne mujh ko kundan banaya

main jo kuchh hun main hun
abhi koi guzra hua pal nahin hun

main maujud hun haal se mera rishta rahega barabar
main mazi nahin hun

main hun ahd-e-hazir
main apne zamane ki tarikh hun khud

mera zikr hi tazkira haal ka hai
mujhe apni baaten sunani hain sab ko

sunaunga ab main
suna kar rahunga
