Meri zindagi kisi aur ki,

]mere naam ka koi aur hai.

        Mera aks hai sar-e-aaina,

        Bas-e-aaina koi aur hai.

 

Meri dhadkano me hai chaak si,

Ye judai bhi hai milap si.

        Mujhe kya pata mere dil bata,

        Mere sath kya koi aur hai.

 

Na gaye dino ko khabar meri,

Na sharik haal-e-gazal meri.

        Tere desh me mere bhesh me,

        Koi aur tha koi aur hai.

 

Wo meri taraf nigeraan rahe,

Mera dhyan jane kaha rahe,

        Meri aankh me kai surate,

        Mujhe chahta koi aur hai.
