mujh sa tanha nahin duniya mein khudaya koi
main na apna hun kisi ka bhi na mera koi

kya mila mujh ko chahal-sala rifaqat kar ke
ab kisi par na kare aah bharosa koi

tabish-e-hijr ne dil ki ye bana di surat
jaise ho dhup mein tapta hua sahra koi

aatish-e-shauq ki uthi hain kuchh aisi lahren
jis tarah aag ka bahta hua dariya koi

ek wo din tha ki roton ko hansa deta tha
ab to rota hun jo dekha koi hansta koi

main hun nairangi-e-alam ki mujassam taswir
mujh se behtar nahin ibrat ka tamasha koi

main wo qatra hun samundar se jo mahrum raha
mujh ko kya mauj mein aaya kare dariya koi

be-rukhi aah ye kaisi hai ki is aalam mein
mile lakhon na hua ek bhi apna koi
