diwar-o-dar ka nam tha koi makan na tha
main jis zamin par tha wahan aasman na tha

main dushmanon ki tarah raha khud se dur kyun
apne siwa to koi mere darmiyan na tha

qadmon mein tapti ret thi chaaron taraf thi aag
aur zindagi ke sar par koi saeban na tha

dhundi thi man ki god mein ja-e-aman magar
bechainiyon ko meri wahan bhi aman na tha

mere safar mein bhid jo thi ham-qadam meri
yaadon ki thi baraat koi karwan na tha

apne hisar-e-jism mein kab rah saka 'nazar'
dekha gaya tha us ko jahan wo wahan na tha
