dastar-e-hunar baKHshish-e-darbar nahin hai
dastār-e-hunar baḳhshish-e-darbār nahīñ hai
sad shukr ki shānoñ pe ye sar baar nahīñ hai
ab to ye makāñ qatl-gaheñ banñe lage haiñ
achchhā hai vo jis kā koī ghar-bār nahīñ hai
tahrīs-o-sazā se nahīñ badleñge ye bayāñ ham
ik baar nahīñ jab hai to har baar nahīñ hai
har ek pe khul jaa.e bilā farq marātib
aisā ho to dahlīz pe darbār nahīñ hai
aa jaa.e tavāzun meñ ye māhaul kī mīzān
insāf ke palḌe meñ magar baar nahīñ hai
zulmat se nikal aa.eñ chamakte hue raste
par mash.al-e-ehsās sharar-bār nahīñ hai
haath aa.egā kyā sāhil-e-lab se hameñ 'anjum'
jab dil kā samundar hī guhar-bār nahīñ hai
dastar-e-hunar baKHshish-e-darbar nahin hai
sad shukr ki shanon pe ye sar bar nahin hai
ab to ye makan qatl-gahen banne lage hain
achchha hai wo jis ka koi ghar-bar nahin hai
tahris-o-saza se nahin badlenge ye bayan hum
ek bar nahin jab hai to har bar nahin hai
har ek pe khul jae bila farq maraatib
aisa ho to dahliz pe darbar nahin hai
aa jae tawazun mein ye mahaul ki mizan
insaf ke palDe mein magar bar nahin hai
zulmat se nikal aaen chamakte hue raste
par mashal-e-ehsas sharar-bar nahin hai
hath aaega kya sahil-e-lab se hamein 'anjum'
jab dil ka samundar hi guhar-bar nahin hai
