rota hun qadr-dan-e-mata-e-hunar ko main

hath mein jab tak qalam tha tajribe likhte rahe

daryaft kar ke KHud ko zamane se dur hun

wo ek sajda ki jo be-rukua hota hai

sham kajlai hui raat abhagan jaisi

in andheron se pare is shab-e-gham se aage

ek saya sharmata lajata rah mein tanha chhoD gaya

kaun dekhega mujh mein ab chehra

yun zindagi guzar rahi hai meri

zahiri shakl meri zinda hai
