Mujhe Apne Zabt Pe Naaz Tha, Sare Bazm Raat Ye Kya Hua,
Meri Aankh Kaise Chhalak Gayi Mujhe Ranj Hai Ye Bura Hua.

Meri Zindagi Ke Charagh Ka Ye Andaaz Koi Nayaa Nahin,
Kabhi Raushni, Kabhi Teergi, Kabhi Jalaa Hua Kabhi Bujha Hua.
...
Mujhe Raaste Mein Pada Hua Kisi Badnaseeb Ka Khat Mila,
Kahin Khoon-E-Dil Se Likha Hua, Kahin Aansuon Se Mita Hua.

Jo Nazar Bacha Ke Guzar Gaye, Mere Saamne Se Abhi Abhi,
Ye Mere Sheher Hi Ke Log The Mere Ghar Se Ghar Mila Hua.

Mujhe Humsafar Bhi Mila Koi, To Shikasta Haal Meri Tarah,
Kahin Raaston Ka Lutaa Hua Kahin Manzilon Ka Thaka Hua.
