Sar se chaadar badan se qabaa le gayi,
Zindagii ham faqiiro se kya le gayi,
Merii mutthii me suukhe huye phuul hai,
Khushbu ko udakar hawa le gayi,
Main samundar ke siine me chattaan thaa,
Raat ek mauj aayi bahaa le gayi,
Hum jo kaagaz the ashkon se bhiige hue,
Kyo chiraagon ki lau tak havaa le gayi,
Chaand ne raat mujhko jagaa kar kahaa,
Ek ladkii tumhara pata le gayi,
Meri shoharat siyasat se mahafus hai,
Ye tavayaf bhi ismat bacha le gayi.
