pata ab tak nahin badla hamara
wahi ghar hai wahi qissa hamara

wahi tuti hui kashti hai apni
wahi thahra hua dariya hamara

ye maqtal bhi hai aur kunj-e-aman bhi
ye dil ye be-nishan kamra hamara

kisi jaanib nahin khulte dariche
kahin jata nahin rasta hamara

hum apni dhup mein baithe hain 'mushtaq'
hamare sath hai saya hamara
