Peshaniyon pe likhe muqaddar nahi mile
Dastar kahan milenge jahan sar nahi mile

Awaragi ko dubate suraj se rabt hai
Magrib ke bad ham bhi to ghar par nahi mile

Kal ainon ka jashn hua tha tamam rat
Andhe tamashbinon ko patthar nahi mile

Main chahata tha khud se mulaqat ho magar
Aine mere qad ke barabar nahi mile

Pardes ja rahe ho to sab dekhate chalo
Mumkin hai wapas ao to ye ghar nahi mile
