us ka iqrar kar ke
use dhundne chal pada

shahr mein dasht mein
koh o dariya mein, main

muddaton mara mara phira
lekin us ka nishan

meri nazron se
ojhal tha ojhal raha

aakhirash thak ke jab so gaya
main kisi mod par

to mere parda-e-khwab par
ek tahrir mujh se

mukhatib hui is tarah
tera iqrar bilkul baja hai

magar yaad rakh
ek inkar bhi

juzw-e-lazim hai
mazkura iqrar ka

is liye ghair-mumkin hai takmil
tere is iqrar ki

jab talak
is ki buniyaad qaem na ho

juzw-e-inkar par
na-mukammal hai iqrar jab tak tera

ghair-mumkin ki pae tu us ka pata!
