main bhi aage baDhun aur bhiD ka hissa ho jaun

maiñ bhī aage baḌhūñ aur bhiiḌ kā hissa ho jā.ūñ

is se achchhā to yahī hai ki maiñ tanhā ho jā.ūñ

pyaas ko merī jo ik jaam na de paayā kabhī

tishnagī us kī ye kahtī hai maiñ dariyā ho jā.ūñ

mujh ko jakḌe hue rishtoñ kī haqīqat mat pūchh

bas chale merā agar to maiñ akelā ho jā.ūñ

le ke jā.ūñ kahāñ ehsās-e-vafādārī ko

dil to kahtā hai ki maiñ bhī tire jaisā ho jā.ūñ

ho kisī taur to duniyā kī tavajjoh mujh par

ek do pal ke liye maiñ bhī tamāshā ho jā.ūñ

dil kī majbūrī ajab chiiz hai varna 'jāved'

kaun chāhegā bhalā ḳhud ki maiñ rusvā ho jā.ūñ

main bhi aage baDhun aur bhiD ka hissa ho jaun

is se achchha to yahi hai ki main tanha ho jaun

pyas ko meri jo ek jam na de paya kabhi

tishnagi us ki ye kahti hai main dariya ho jaun

mujh ko jakDe hue rishton ki haqiqat mat puchh

bas chale mera agar to main akela ho jaun

le ke jaun kahan ehsas-e-wafadari ko

dil to kahta hai ki main bhi tere jaisa ho jaun

ho kisi taur to duniya ki tawajjoh mujh par

ek do pal ke liye main bhi tamasha ho jaun

dil ki majburi ajab chiz hai warna 'jawed'

kaun chahega bhala KHud ki main ruswa ho jaun
