Shabnam hun surkh phool pe bikhra hua hun mein
Dil mom aur dhoop mein baitha hua hun main

Kuchh der baad raakh milegi tumhen yahaan
Lo banke is chiragh se lipta hua hun main

Do sakht khushk rotiyan kab se liye hue
Paani key intezar baitha hua hun main

Ladi utha key ghaat pe j ane lage hi ran
Kaise ajeeb daur mein paida hua hun main

Nas nas mein phail jaunga beemar raat ki
Palkon pe aaj shaam se simta hua hun mein

Auraaq mein chhipati thi aksar wo titliyan
Shayad kisi kitab mein rakkha hua hun main

Duniya hai bepanaah to bharpoor zindagi
Do aurton key beech mein leta hua hun main
