faqat saje hue diwar-o-dar ka kya matlab
jahan sukun nahin aise ghar ka kya matlab

kisi ke kaam na aae to zar ka kya matlab
na phal na chhanw hai aise shajar ka kya matlab

na raston ka thikana na manzilon ka pata
tere baghair mere is safar ka kya matlab

koi hayat ke mani bata ke samjhae
tawil kya hai bhala mukhtasar ka kya matlab
