dost bahut rahe magar yar nahin bana koi
yani main chal pada to diwar nahin bana koi

ek to ye dukh ki koi haqdar hi ban gaya tera
is pe sitam ye hai ki haqdar nahin bana koi

phul bika rahe hain tirshul bikane wale bhi
jab se wo shahr aaya hathiyar nahin bana koi

ishq-shanas log the sare udas log the
so mere shahr se adakar nahin bana koi

shoabada-baz ab ke mayus palat gaya hai 'raaz'
yani ki bewaquf is bar nahin bana koi
