Meri Pehchaan

Taye kiye thay jin par
Umr kay marhaley kayi
Gard unheen raahon ki
Jum gayi hai maazi kay
Peelay padey dareechon par...

Waqt ki tahon kay neechay
Dafn hai shaayad aaj bhi
Meri ek tasveer puraani
Dhool mein liptee hui...

Wahi hai bhooli-bisri
Aakhiri nishaani shaayad
Meri shakhsiyat ki
Aur meri pehchaan hai...

Varnaa mujhko yaad nahin
In umr say lambi raahon par
Chhoot gaya kab aur kahaan
Mujh say mera haath!
