har-chand tere gham ka sahaara bhi nahin hai
jine ke alawa koi chaara bhi nahin hai

har roz kiye jati hai ye zist taqaze
kya qarz tha jo hum ne utara bhi nahin hai

pahle to ye maujen bhi himayat mein khadi thin
ab mera madad-gar kinara bhi nahin hai

jata bhi nahin chhod ke wo mujh ko akela
aur sath mera us ko gawara bhi nahin hai

kuchh apne muqaddar ko bigada bhi hamin ne
kuchh apne muafiq ye sitara bhi nahin hai

hoti thi jise dekh ke sarshaar tabiat
aankhon mein wo sarsabz nazara bhi nahin hai

ye baat alag jit ke aasar nahin hain
is marka-e-jaan ko wo haara bhi nahin hai

har koi 'salim' us ka mukhalif hai jahan mein
aur koi khilaf us ke saf-ara bhi nahin hai
