sath tera agar nahin hota
hum se itna safar nahin hota

dhup hai rah mein usulon ki
is mein koi shajar nahin hota

log kya kya kharid lete hain
bas hamin se guzar nahin hota

samna zindagi se karne ka
har kisi mein hunar nahin hota

ab to aadi se ho gae hain hum
hadson ka asar nahin hota

dil yun lagte qarib hain lekin
rasta mukhtasar nahin hota

gar wafa hi mili jo hoti to
aadmi dar-ba-dar nahin hota
