jahan na saya-e-mazi kahin nazar aae
jahan na fikr ho farda ki koi daman-gir

na dost ho na shanasa na koi dushman ho
kisi ki ambari-zulfon ka main nahin hun asir

safar jo ho to koi karwan na rahbar ho
na manzilon ke liye ho talash daman-gir

ho dasht mera makan aur koh diwaren
ho saeban ki tarah sar pe aasman-e-dabir

na yun hayat ho fikr-e-maash se bezar
ki jaise panw mein hoti hai qaid ki zanjir

na bad-zani ki ho kulfat na dar saza ka ho
na iltija-e-karam se karun main khud ko haqir

agar main sikh lun qudrat se zindagi ka chalan
ye barg phul hawa bas yahi hon mere mushir

kabhi jo nind na aae daraaz raaton mein
falak ke raaz sunaen mujhe falak ke safir

na khwab aaen meri nind itni gahri ho
sahar ko hajat-e-tafsir-e-khwab ho na 'amir'
