mere haalaat pe.... ye kisko ....hansi aayee hai.........

fikr-e-gurbat hai.... na.... andeshaa-e-tanhaayee hai;
zindgi..... kitne hawaadis se .....guzar aayee hai.

log.... jis haal mein...... marne ki duaa karte hain;
maine.... us haal mein..... jeene ki kasam khaayee hai.

hum .....na sukraat ....na mansoor ....na eesaa ....lekin;
jo bhi qaatil hai ....hamaaraa hi.... tamannaayee hai.

zindgi ....aur hain kitne tere chehre.... ye bataa;
tujhse.... ek umr ki....... haalaanki shanaasaayee hai.

kaun... naawaaqif-e-anjaam-e-tabassum hai
mere haalaat pe.... ye kisko ....hansi aayee hai.........
