baadshahon ko sikhaya hai qalandar hona
aap aasan samajhte hain munawwar hona

ek aansu bhi hukumat ke liye khatra hai
tum ne dekha nahin aankhon ka samundar hona

sirf bachchon ki mohabbat ne qadam rok liye
warna aasan tha mere liye be-ghar hona

hum ko malum hai shohrat ki bulandi hum ne
qabr ki mitti ka dekha hai barabar hona

is ko qismat ki kharabi hi kaha jaega
aap ka shahr mein aana mera bahar hona

sochta hun to kahani ki tarah lagta hai
raste se mera takna tera chhat par hona

mujh ko qismat hi pahunchne nahin deti warna
ek eazaz hai us dar ka gadagar hona

sirf tarikh batane ke liye zinda hun
ab mera ghar mein bhi hona hai calendar hona
