Taa'miil-e-bandagi ke hinaii-kaagaz par
Ta-umr kaaliik pothti hain maine
Na theek se kufr kar saka hoon
Na theek se ibaadat hui hain

Mashq-e-tasawwur me baa'is-e-hasraton ka
Ta-umr qatl-e-aam kiya hain maine
Na theek se aabaad ** saka hoon
Na theek se barbaadi hui hain

Rishton ke bosiida sahn-e-gulzaar se
Ta umr bas kaante hi jode hain maine
Na theek se dosti kar saka hu
Na theek se dushmanii hui hain

Tark-e-ta'alluqaat ke shatranj-baazii mein
Ta-umr faqat maat khaayi hain maine
Na theek se dhoke khaa saka hu
Na theek se dhokebaazi hui hain

Mere gunaaho ki salaabat ke khayaalon mein
Ta-umr 'aalam-e-barzakh me guzaari hain maine
Na Khuuda se ruu-ba-ruu ** saka hu
Na Ibliis se mulaqaat hui hai
