Tum jab aaogii to khoyaa hu’aa paaogii mujhe,
merii duniyaa meN KhvaaboN ke sivaa kuch bhii nahiiN,
mere kamre ko sajaane kii tamannaa hai tumheN,
mere kamre meN kitaaboN ke sivaa kuch bhii nahiiN !
in kitaaboN ne bahut zulm kiyaa hai mujh par,
in meN ek ramz hai jis ramz ka maara hu’aa zehn,
muzhdah-e-ishrat-e-anjaam nahiiN paa saktaa,
zindagii meN kabhii aaraam nahiiN paa sakta !!
