Khoju mai khudko, khud ki taalash hai

Guzra hai waqt, sapno se wada hai

Umeede jawaab, sawaal mila adha hai

Khuda meherban, safar thoda jada hai

Mai ek dariya, koyi na kinara hai

Sawalat etne kese mai jawaab lao

Roz naya din aur naye khawaab lao

Khoj mai hun apni, thoda sa thehrav lao

Koina na hai apna, kese tavaqquaat lao

Khamosh ye khayal, apni soch ke khilaav jao

Mai khudme kitne sawaal lao

Kabhi mai hun jeet ta, kabhi kabhi haar jao

Mukhtalif soch meri, kese mai izaaf lao

Man ek paheli, paheli savaab pao

Had se mutassir, haad se bhi paar jao

Muntashir ilm mera, roye apne faaqon pe

Mutasir rooh meri, khawaab bune saancho pe

Muday ni hal hote sirf yahan haato se

Soch lade roj, khud se kya bhago ge

Kaya mushtamil kise ke khawaab me

Gumnaam yeh baate likhe wo hisaab me

Dil bardaashta fir aye kese

Log aate jaate, par jay kese

Kya umeede lagaye bethenge tumse

Jab apni hi ni pata nibhaye kese

Maa ki akho me dikhta hun zindagi

Aab zindagi esi rulaye kese

Apne nadaamat, bhulaye kese

Roj bole aaj kal, par aye kese

Swaal bane bedia, bedio ke jaal me

Na maine sawaal e jawaab aise

Dard yeh kala, farda nahi

Koshish nakam, kya kal he nahi

Apno ka saath, safar azm se hi

Be murtav/murtad, hai yeh zamana

Murtav/murtad bane, kalam sihaayii

Shabd mere tumaar, poshiida sahi

Hijrat hai dil se, tavaazun nahi

Ahd likhayi se, zinda kahi
