gham faraham hain magar un ki farawani nahin
ai giran-jaani yahan koi bhi aasani nahin

chaar-su ek barf-basta ahd-e-nam ka raj hai
dhup mein hiddat nahin dariyaon mein pani nahin

yaad hai kya kaam hai is shahr ka kya nam hai
sab kuchh us jaisa hai lekin aasman dhani nahin

zindagi ke dukh azal se zindagi ke sath hain
log fani hain magar logon ke dukh fani nahin

zindagi bhar sirf use puja magar ghar baith kar
pasdaran-e-wafa ka kaam darbani nahin

ek shajar ke koi do patte bhi ek jaise na the
meri duniya mein kisi shai ka koi sani nahin
