hum se logon ka jahan bhar mein thikana kya hai
tum to sab jaante ho tum ko batana kya hai

jo diya dekh ke binai se mahrum hua
aise kam-zarf ko suraj ka dikhana kya hai

teri qismat jo rawan zindagi hasil hai tujhe
tu nahin jaanta dhakke se chalana kya hai

hoti duri to tere gham ko manate hum bhi
kaun sa hijr tera khwab mein aana kya hai

main jo andaze lagane mein laga hun kab se
kya koi mujh ko bataega zamana kya hai

dasht mein ret thi ya ishq ki daulat ‘sahib’
ghar se nikle to samajh aai kamana kya hai
