isko koi gham nahin hai jis ka ghar patthar ka hai

is ko koī ġham nahīñ hai jis kā ghar patthar kā hai

kyā karegā tez tūfāñ bām-o-dar patthar kā hai

aise insāñ se kabhī ummīd kyā rakhe koī

dekhne meñ aadmī hai dil magar patthar kā hai

kaun sā hai shahr jis meñ maiñ bhaTak kar aa gayā

rāste patthar ke haiñ aur bām-o-dar patthar kā hai

aa ga.e haiñ aag kī zad meñ hazāroñ jhoñpaḌe

mujh ko lekin hai tasallī apnā ghar patthar kā hai

apne dāman meñ chhupā.eñ kyuuñ nahīñ bachche inheñ

haiñ sabhī TuuTe khilaune phir bhī Dar patthar kā hai

un se ummīd-e-vafā rakhnā bhī 'nayyar' hai fuzūl

be-muravvat sab ke sab haiñ aur nagar patthar kā hai

is ko koi gham nahin hai jis ka ghar patthar ka hai

kya karega tez tufan baam-o-dar patthar ka hai

aise insan se kabhi ummid kya rakhe koi

dekhne mein aadmi hai dil magar patthar ka hai

kaun sa hai shahr jis mein main bhaTak kar aa gaya

raste patthar ke hain aur baam-o-dar patthar ka hai

aa gae hain aag ki zad mein hazaron jhonpaDe

mujh ko lekin hai tasalli apna ghar patthar ka hai

apne daman mein chhupaen kyun nahin bachche inhen

hain sabhi TuTe khilaune phir bhi Dar patthar ka hai

un se ummid-e-wafa rakhna bhi 'nayyar' hai fuzul

be-murawwat sab ke sab hain aur nagar patthar ka hai
