main to na hans sakta hoon

main to na hans sakta hoon, na roo sakta hoon
na aapna girbaan pakad kar jhinjord sakta hoon
aye dil dekh le, main aaj aisa barbaad hua hoon
is muflasi mein na kissi ko kuch de sakta hoon

mere paas to tujhe dene ko bacha kuch bhi nahi
phir kyon main ab bhi roz teri aas rakhta hoon
dhoondta hoon tujhe mere bache veeranoon mein
kyon main khud ko haqiqat se durr rakhta hoon

hashr aisa ki mangane pe majboor beitha hoon
par phir bhi tere liye bikane ko tarasta hoon
sharam aati kuch mangane mein tujhse aye dil
aapni di huii cheez maangne mein jhijakta hoon

kaise le loon wapas yeh dil jo ab mera nahin
main ek barbaad dhadkan aur dil tarasta hoon
shayad yehi sabak meri nakaam koshishoon ka
main kyon har baar bina pankh ke udata hoon
