honton ko phul aankh ko baada nahin kaha
tujhko teri ada se ziyaada nahin kaha

barta gaya hun sirf kisi sair ki tarah
tune mujhe safar ka irada nahin kaha

kahta to hun tujhe main gul-e-khush-numa magar
khush rang mausamon ka labaada nahin kaha

rahte hain sirf tang-nazar log jis jagah
us shahr-e-be-karan ko kushada nahin kaha

bandha har ek khayal badi sadgi ke sath
lekin koi khayal bhi sada nahin kaha

meri bisat par to sabhi baadshah hain
maine kabhi kisi ko piyaada nahin kaha

wo aasman mizaj musafir hun aaj tak
maine teri zamin ko jada nahin kaha
