koi bachne ka nahin sab ka pata jaanti hai
kis taraf aag lagana hai hawa jaanti hai

ujle kapdon mein raho ya ki naqaben dalo
tum ko har rang mein ye khalq-e-khuda jaanti hai

rok paegi na zanjir na diwar koi
apni manzil ka pata aah-e-rasa jaanti hai

tut jaunga bikhar jaunga haarunga nahin
meri himmat ko zamane ki hawa jaanti hai

aap sach bol rahe hain to pasheman kyun hain
ye wo duniya hai jo achchhon ko bura jaanti hai

aandhiyan zor dikhaen bhi to kya hota hai
gul khilane ka hunar baad-e-saba jaanti hai

aankh wale nahin pahchante us ko 'manzar'
jitne nazdik se phulon ki ada jaanti hai
