MaiN kisi kuu E aziyyat se nahi aaya huN
NarGha E sang E malaamat se nahi aaya huN

Apni pahchaan banaayi hai to aaya huN yahaaN
MaiN kisi baab E riyaayat se nahi aaya huN

Apni aaNkhoN meN chupaale K tera aks huN maiN
Kisi aayinaa E zulmat se nahi aaya huN

MaiN bhi ek khaak ka putlaa huN tere hi jaisa
Kisi dozakh, kisi jannat se nahi aaya huN

Teri shiriN sukhani khiiNch ke laayi hai mujhe
Yaar maiN apni zaroorat se nahi aaya huN

Itni begaangi achhi nahi ‘Tariq’ saahab
MaiN kisi shahr E adaavat se nahi aaya huN
