diya nasib mein nahin sitara baKHt mein nahin
diyā nasīb meñ nahīñ sitāra baḳht meñ nahīñ
to kyā sharār bhī vajūd-e-sañg-e-saḳht meñ nahīñ
mirī baqā kā raaz hai musāfirat musāfirat
so naqsh-e-pā baġhair mere sāz-o-raḳht meñ nahīñ
mujhe hai shahr ke gharoñ se sirf is qadar gila
ki bhaa.ī husn āsmān-e-laḳht-laḳht meñ nahīñ
mirā kamāl munhasir hai mere iḳhtisār par
mirī numū kā shā.iba kisī daraḳht meñ nahīñ
faqīr-e-shahr bhī rahā huuñ 'shahryār' bhī magar
jo itminān faqr meñ hai tāj-o-taḳht meñ nahīñ
diya nasib mein nahin sitara baKHt mein nahin
to kya sharar bhi wajud-e-sang-e-saKHt mein nahin
meri baqa ka raaz hai musafirat musafirat
so naqsh-e-pa baghair mere saz-o-raKHt mein nahin
mujhe hai shahr ke gharon se sirf is qadar gila
ki bhai husn aasman-e-laKHt-laKHt mein nahin
mera kamal munhasir hai mere iKHtisar par
meri numu ka shaiba kisi daraKHt mein nahin
faqir-e-shahr bhi raha hun 'shahryar' bhi magar
jo itminan faqr mein hai taj-o-taKHt mein nahin
