takhtiyan sab utar di gai hain
mere ghar ka kahin pata hi nahin

reg-e-biryan pe chal ke aae hain
panw mein koi aabla hi nahin

zakhm-e-dil ko talash-e-marham thi
aur marham kahin mila hi nahin

hum ne dastak to di bahut lekin
phir koi dar kabhi khula hi nahin

zindagi se kabhi bani na meri
maut par ikhtiyar tha hi nahin

dhup bhi qahr ban ke barsi aur
saeban ret se bana hi nahin
