Maine khud ke saaye mein jeene ki aadat ab daal li hai,
Ye jo aksar kuch chhut jaane ka darr laga rahta tha na,
Us darr se, Maine ab apni jaan chhuda li hai,
Ab na kisika saath,
Na hi kisike intezaar me gujarti koi raat,
Aam si zindagi, aam se lamhaat,
Na mulaqat na koi baat,
ab Dil-o-dimaag ki ye uljhan saari,
Maine sambhal li hai,
Laga nahi tha,
Yakeen se ke aisa bhi ho payega,
Magar waqt aur halaat ke chalte,
Maine bhi apni seekh paa li hai,
Khud ke saaye mein jeene ki aadat daal li hai.
