sahil pe muradon ka samundar nahin aaya
wo shahar mein ho kar bhi mere ghar nahin aaya

darwaze pe dastak hui zanjir bhi khanki
jhonka tha hawa ka koi andar nahin aaya

tu jab se mujhe chhod ke pardes gaya hai
duniya mein meri koi sikandar nahin aaya

main shahar mein phirta hun liye chaak-e-gareban
lekin wo sitamgar wo rafugar nahin aaya

majnun pe ladakpan mein uthaya tha asad ne
'mansur' mere sar pe wo patthar nahin aaya
