badle mein duaon ke kabhi zar nahin lete
ehsan kisi ka bhi qalandar nahin lete

khud manzil-e-maqsud lipat jati hai un se
rahbar ka sahaara wo kahin par nahin lete

so jate hain bore pe chatai pe kahin bhi
muflis to kabhi makhmali bistar nahin lete

ho jae jahan raat wahin din ko basera
bechaare ye banjare kahin ghar nahin lete

sab lut liya karte hain balwai fasadi
ujde hue logon ka muqaddar nahin lete

ashkon se hi hum pyas bujha lete hain 'nazan'
khuddar hain kuchh aise samundar nahin lete
