yahi to dukh hai zamin aasman bana kar bhi
main dar-ba-dar hun khud apna jahan bana kar bhi

agar ye sach hai ki har shai yahan pe fani hai
to kya karunga main kuchh jawedan bana kar bhi

musir hai is pe mujhe raegan nahin hona
wo zindagi ko mari raegan bana kar bhi

kise dikhaun jo tarikiyan sameti hain
qadam qadam pe nai kahkashan bana kar bhi

kuchh aur log magar baad-azan use yaad aae
wo khush nahin tha hamein dastan bana kar bhi

khula masafat-e-hasti mein kam nahin hote
safar ke ranj-o-alam karwan bana kar bhi
