aag pani se Darta hua main hi tha
chand ki sair karta hua main hi tha
sar uThae khaDa tha pahaDon pe main
patti patti bikharta hua main hi tha
main hi tha us taraf zaKHm khaya hua
is taraf war karta hua main hi tha
jag uTTha tha subh maut ki nind se
raat aai to marta hua main hi tha
main hi tha manzilon pe paDa hanpta
raston mein Thaharta hua main hi tha
mujh se puchhe koi Dubne ka maza
paniyon mein utarta hua main hi tha
main hi tha 'alwi' kamre mein soya hua
aur gali se guzarta hua main hi tha
