aye meri udasiyo mai udaas hun
Mai mahaz khushi ka qayaas hun
khud apne hone ka ho gumaan jise
Ek aise samandar ki mai pyaas hun
dhundta phirta hai jise khud apna dil
Ho na ho kisi aur ka mai ehsaas hun
raas aaye na jise rang na gulsitaan
usi nasib-e-dushmanaan ka qasaas hun
theen jiski haqeeqatein bhi khwaab si
usi junun ka mai utra hua libaas hun
mujhe azmaate rahe qismat ki tarha
aye charagar mai tumhari asaas hun
ummid mujhe zara itna bata
ummid ka kaise milta hai patta
ummid ka daman dhunde hai koi
fermaa de karam ab na usko sataa
ek sawaali aur do do haath
phir bhi khaaye taqdeer say maat
ek arsh per hi nahi rab ki zaat
ankh bhi tu aur tu hi barsaath
is khamoshi si khamoshi may
ek sargoshi si achanak ubhri hai
kahin koi rudaad sunaane waala hai?
teri dua ab meri khahish tehri hai
chalo pehchan liya maine tum ko
ab ye ankh micholi rahne do
jo tumne itne barson may na kaha
khudara aaj mujhe vo kehne do
ek nazara ojhal tha ek ayaan
jo na samjha, tha uska bayan
na hona tha maqsad ka zyaan
paa liye tujh may dono jahaan
