ghar se ghar tak ka rasta na mila
koi bhi khud mein jhankta na mila

sab ke hamrah sab ke sae the
shahar mein koi dewta na mila

kitne honton ka lams yaad rahe
ek bhi naqsh der-pa na mila

raushni ke safir laut gae
shahr-dar-shahr rat-jaga na mila

tang tha zat ka hisar bahut
koi rasta farar ka na mila

kitne aansu nichod kar dekhe
kho gaya tha jo qahqaha na mila

hum hi the apne aas-pas 'nazar'
rah mein koi dusra na mila
