Mujhe apne zabt pe naaz tha, sare bazm raat ye kya hua
Meri aankh kaise chhalak gayi mujhe ranj hai ye bura hua
Meri zindagi ke charagh ka ye andaaz koi nayaa nahin
Kabhi raushni, kabhi teergi, kabhi jalaa hua kabhi bujha hua
Mujhe raaste mein pada hua kisi badnaseeb ka khat mila
Kahin khoon-e-dil se likha hua, kahin aansuon se mita hua
Jo nazar bacha ke guzar gaye, mere saamne se abhi abhi
Ye mere sheher ke ke log the mere ghar se ghar mila hua
Mujhe humsafar bhi mila koi, to shikasta haal meri tarah
Kahin raaston ka lutaa hua kahin manzilon ka thaka hua
Mujhay is ka koi bhi haq nahin, ke main shareek-e-bazm-e-khaloos hoon
Na meray pass koi niqab hai, na kuch aasteen main chhupa hua
Mujhay ap kiyun na samajh sakay ye apnay dil se poochiye
Meri zindagi ki kitab ka warq warq hai khula huua
