ham aansuon ki tarah waaste nibha na sake

rahe jin aankhon mein un mein hi ghar bana na sake

phir aandhiyon ne sikhaaya wahan safar ka hunar

jahan charaagh hamein raasta dikha na sake

jo pesh pesh the basti bachaane waalon mein

lagi jab aag toh apna bhi ghar bacha na sake

mire khuda kisi aisi jagah use rakhna

jahan koi mire baare mein kuchh bata na sake

tamaam umr ki koshish ka bas yahi haasil

kisi ko apne mutabique koi bana na sake

tasalliyon pe bahut din jiya nahi jaata

kuchh aisa ho ke tira etibaar aa na sake
