bhid chaaron taraf magar tanha
log rahte hain umr bhar tanha

karwan karwan har ek manzar
aadmi aadmi magar tanha

saikdon qafile guzarte hain
aur rahti hai rahguzar tanha

ab muhafiz bhi lut lete hain
chhod kar jaiye na ghar tanha

roz milta hun saikdon se magar
roz jata hun apne ghar tanha

doston ki talash mein 'arshad'
laut kar aa gai nazar tanha
