na ho jis pe bharosa us se hum yari nahin rakhte
na ho jis pe bharosa us se ham yaarī nahīñ rakhte
ham apne āshiyāñ ke paas chiñgārī nahīñ rakhte
faqat nām-e-mohabbat par hukūmat kar nahīñ sakte
jo dushman se kabhī laḌne kī tayyārī nahīñ rakhte
ḳharīdāroñ meñ rah kar zindagī vo bik bhī jaate haiñ
tire bāzār meñ jo log hushyārī nahīñ rakhte
banāo ghar na miTTī ke lab-e-sāhil ai nādānoñ
samundar to kināroñ se vafādārī nahīñ rakhte
anā ko saḳhtī-e-hālāt aksar toḌ detī hai
isī Dar se kabhī fitrat meñ ḳhuddārī nahīñ rakhte
dar-o-dīvār se un ke bhalā kyā aa.egī ḳhushbū
jo ghar ke sahn meñ phūloñ kī ik kyārī nahīñ rakhte
faqat lafzoñ se ham 'dānā' hunar kī daad lete haiñ
qalam vaale kabhī shauq-e-adākārī nahīñ rakhte
na ho jis pe bharosa us se hum yari nahin rakhte
hum apne aashiyan ke pas chingari nahin rakhte
faqat nam-e-mohabbat par hukumat kar nahin sakte
jo dushman se kabhi laDne ki tayyari nahin rakhte
KHaridaron mein rah kar zindagi wo bik bhi jate hain
tere bazar mein jo log hushyari nahin rakhte
banao ghar na miTTi ke lab-e-sahil ai nadanon
samundar to kinaron se wafadari nahin rakhte
ana ko saKHti-e-haalat aksar toD deti hai
isi Dar se kabhi fitrat mein KHuddari nahin rakhte
dar-o-diwar se un ke bhala kya aaegi KHushbu
jo ghar ke sahn mein phulon ki ek kyari nahin rakhte
faqat lafzon se hum 'dana' hunar ki dad lete hain
qalam wale kabhi shauq-e-adakari nahin rakhte
