ḳhaak huuñ lekin sarāpā nuur hai merā vajūd
is zamīñ par chāñd sūraj kā numā.inda huuñ maiñ
KHak hun lekin sarapa nur hai mera wajud
is zamin par chand suraj ka numainda hun main
ye jo maiñ huuñ zarā sā baaqī huuñ
vo jo tum the vo mar ga.e mujh meñ
ye jo main hun zara sa baqi hun
wo jo tum the wo mar gae mujh mein
ḳhatm hone de mire saath hī apnā bhī vajūd
tū bhī ik naqsh ḳharābe kā hai mar jā mujh meñ
KHatm hone de mere sath hi apna bhi wajud
tu bhi ek naqsh KHarabe ka hai mar ja mujh mein
mirā vajūd mirī ruuh ko pukārtā hai
tirī taraf bhī chalūñ to Thahar Thahar jā.ūñ
mera wajud meri ruh ko pukarta hai
teri taraf bhi chalun to Thahar Thahar jaun
ham ek fikr ke paikar haiñ ik ḳhayāl ke phuul
tirā vajūd nahīñ hai to merā saayā nahīñ
hum ek fikr ke paikar hain ek KHayal ke phul
tera wajud nahin hai to mera saya nahin

hameñ to is liye jā-e-namāz chāhiye hai
ki ham vajūd se bāhar qayām karte haiñ
hamein to is liye ja-e-namaz chahiye hai
ki hum wajud se bahar qayam karte hain
tirā vajūd gavāhī hai mere hone kī
maiñ apnī zaat se inkār kis tarah kartā
tera wajud gawahi hai mere hone ki
main apni zat se inkar kis tarah karta
ab koī DhūñD-DhāñD ke laao nayā vajūd
insān to bulandi-e-insāñ se ghaT gayā
ab koi DhunD-DhanD ke lao naya wajud
insan to bulandi-e-insan se ghaT gaya
mire vajūd ko parchhā.iyoñ ne toḌ diyā
maiñ ik hisār thā tanhā.iyoñ ne toḌ diyā
mere wajud ko parchhaiyon ne toD diya
main ek hisar tha tanhaiyon ne toD diya

agar huuñ to apnā patā chāhtā huuñ

ada hua na qarz aur wajud KHatm ho gaya
main zindagi ka dete dete sud KHatm ho gaya
