Roz badhta hu jahan se aage... 

phir vahin laut ke aa jata hun.. 

braha tod chuka hun jin ko.. 

Inhin diwaron se takarata huun... 

Roz basate hai kai shaher naye.. 

roz dharati me sama jate hai.. 

zal zalo me thi zara si girah.. 

wo bhi ab roz hi aa jate hai.. 

jism se ruh talak ret hi ret.. 

na kahi dhup na saya na sarab.. 

kitane araman hai kis sehara me... 

kaun rakhata hai mazaro ka hisab.. 

nafz bujhati bhi bhadkati bhi hai.. 

dil ka mamul hai ghabrana bhi.. 

rat andhere ne andhere se kaha.. 

ikk aadat hai jiye jana bhi... 

qaus ekk rang ki hoti hai tulua.. 

ekk hi chal bhi paimana bhi... 

goshe goshe me khadi hai masjiid.. 

mushkiil kya ho gai may-khane ki.. 

koi kahta tha samandar hun mai.. 

aur meri jeb me qatra bhi nahi.. 

khairiyat apni likha karta hun... 

ab to taqadir me khatra bhi nahi.. 

apane hathon ko padha karta hun... 

kabhi quran kabhi gita ki tarah.. 

chand rekhaon me samaun mai.. 

zindagi qaid hai sita ki tarah.. 

ram kab lautenge malum nahin... 

kash ravan hi koi aa jata..
