DhunDhta hun sar-e-sahra-e-tamanna KHud ko

DhunDhta hun sar-e-sahra-e-tamanna KHud ko
main ki samjha tha kabhi ruh-e-tamasha KHud ko

apne bachchon ki taraf ghaur se jab bhi dekha
kitne hi rangon mein bikhra hua paya KHud ko

aur kuchh log mere sae tale susta len
girti diwar hun deta hun sahaara KHud ko

nur tu mujh se farawan hua mahfil mahfil
gham nahin sham-e-sifat main ne jalaya KHud ko

reg-e-ummid ke shadab sarabon ke tufail
main ne dekha hai kabhi surat-e-sahra KHud ko

meri azmat ka nishan meri tabahi ki dalil
main ne haalat ke sanche mein na Dhaala KHud ko

meri taKHliq mere kaam na aai 'arif'
main ba-andaz-e-KHuda pata hun tanha KHud ko
