Arz kiya hai…
Apne haqiqi jahaan me uljha hu mai,
Log suljhe hue lagte hai, mujhse apna kaam karakar.
Jo mere dard ko samajhne ka daawa karte the,
Aaj wahi khud apni zarurat ke hisaab se door ho gaye.
Meri khamoshi ko log majboori samajh baithe,
Main toote hue lamhon me bhi muskurata raha.
Log faayda dhoondte hai, jazbaat ki kadar nahi karte,
Main rishton ko dil se nibhata raha, unhone hisaab kitab se naapte rahe.
Phir bhi… dil me ek roshni ki kiran sada zinda hai,
Jo mujhe har uljhan aur tanhaai me aage badhati hai.
Uljhanon ke is safar me, main akela sahi,
Par apni sachchai aur jazbaat ka sitara kabhi nahi bujhne dunga.
