mere andar ek dastak si kahin hoti rahi
zindagi odhe hue main be-khabar soti rahi
koi mausam meri ummidon ko raas aaya nahin
fasl andhiyaron ki kaati aur diye boti rahi
kahne vaala khud to sar takiye pe rakh kar so gaya
meri be-chari kahani raat bhar roti rahi
raste men is qadar yadon ke dorahe pade
aaj maazi ki sadak har mod par khoti rahi
