koi manzil nahin milti to Thahar jate hain
koī manzil nahīñ miltī to Thahar jaate haiñ
ashk āñkhoñ meñ musāfir kī tarah aate haiñ
kyuuñ tire hijr ke manzar pe sitam Dhāte haiñ
zaḳhm bhī dete haiñ aur ḳhvāb bhī dikhlāte haiñ
ham bhī in bachchoñ kī mānind koī pal jī leñ
ek sikka jo hathelī pe sajā laate haiñ
ye to har roz kā ma.amūl hai hairān ho kyuuñ
pyaas hī piite haiñ ham bhuuk hī ham khāte haiñ
har baḌā bachchoñ ko jiine kī duā detā hai
ham bhī shāyad isī virse kī sazā paate haiñ
sub.h le jaate haiñ ham apnā janāza ghar se
shaam ko phir ise kāñdhoñ pe uThā laate haiñ
shahr kī bhiiḌ meñ kyā ho isī ḳhātir 'āzar'
apnī pahchān ko ham ghar meñ hī chhoḌ aate haiñ
koi manzil nahin milti to Thahar jate hain
ashk aankhon mein musafir ki tarah aate hain
kyun tere hijr ke manzar pe sitam Dhate hain
zaKHm bhi dete hain aur KHwab bhi dikhlate hain
hum bhi in bachchon ki manind koi pal ji len
ek sikka jo hatheli pe saja late hain
ye to har roz ka mamul hai hairan ho kyun
pyas hi pite hain hum bhuk hi hum khate hain
har baDa bachchon ko jine ki dua deta hai
hum bhi shayad isi wirse ki saza pate hain
subh le jate hain hum apna janaza ghar se
sham ko phir ise kandhon pe uTha late hain
shahr ki bhiD mein kya ho isi KHatir 'azar'
apni pahchan ko hum ghar mein hi chhoD aate hain
