kisi ka koi thikana hai koi thor bhi hai
ye zindagi hai kahin is ka or-chhor bhi hai

jhula raha hai ye gahwara kaun sadiyon se
are kisi ne ye dekha ki koi dor bhi hai

har aadmi hai yahan jabr-o-ikhtiyar ke sath
magar ye dekh kisi ka kisi pe zor bhi hai

sunega koi to phir kuchh use sunai na de
ki har sukut ke parde mein ek shor bhi hai

wo husn ishq-sifat hai wo ishq husn-numa
wo mera chand bhi hai wo mera chakor bhi hai

shikar kar ki dilon ki sunahre jangal mein
zarur raqs mein badmast koi mor bhi hai

hazar jaan se hum ek hain ye sach hai 'shaz'
riwaj-o-rasm ka lekin dilon mein chor bhi hai
