apni marzi se kahan apne safar ke hum hain

kisi ke waste rahen kahan badalti hain

kabhi kisi ko mukammal jahan nahin milta

bagh mein jaane ke aadab hua karte hain

ab kisi se bhi shikayat na rahi

is andhere mein to Thokar hi ujala degi

badla na apne-ap ko jo the wahi rahe

kuchh bhi bacha na kahne ko har baat ho gai

duniya jise kahte hain jadu ka khilauna hai

bahut mushkil hai banjara-mizaji

sab kuchh to hai kya DhunDti rahti hain nigahen

wahi hamesha ka aalam hai kya kiya jae

muTThi bhar logon ke hathon mein lakhon ki taqdiren hain

itna sach bol ki honTon ka tabassum na bujhe

rishton ka etibar wafaon ka intizar
