kare dariya na pul mismar mere
abhi kuchh log hain us par mere

bahut din guzre ab dekh aaun ghar ko
kahenge kya dar-o-diwar mere

wahin suraj ki nazren thin ziyaada
jahan the ped saya-dar mere

wahi ye shahr hai to shahr walo
kahan hain kucha-o-bazar mere

tum apna haal-e-mahjuri batao
mujhe to kha gae aazar mere

jinhen samjha tha jaan-parwar main ab tak
wo sab nikle kafan-bardar mere

guzarte ja rahe hain din hawa se
rahen zinda-salamat yar mere

daba jis se usi patthar mein dhal kar
bike chehre sar-e-bazar mere

daricha kya khula meri ghazal ka
hawaen le udin ashaar mere
