chamka hai yun nasib ka tara kabhi kabhi
hum ko to khud usi ne pukara kabhi kabhi

le dubta hai dil ko sahaara kabhi kabhi
manjdhaar ban gaya hai kinara kabhi kabhi

ye bhi hua hai haal hamara kabhi kabhi
apne ko hum ne aap pukara kabhi kabhi

apne se be-niyaz hua ja raha hun main
sun sun ke tum se haal tumhaara kabhi kabhi

sath apne sham-e-hijr ke jagun ki aas bhi
le dubta hai subah ka tara kabhi kabhi

tufan se bachne wale bahut shadman na ho
kashti pe phat pada hai kinara kabhi kabhi

'manzar' shikayaton ki talafi zarur hai
ek sajda shukr ka bhi khudara kabhi kabhi
