qadr-dan koi na asfal hai na aala apna
qadr-dāñ koī na asfal hai na a.alā apnā
na zamīn par na falak par hai Thikānā apnā
dast-e-shafqat se diyā aap ne chhallā apnā
haath bhar baḌh gayā siine meñ kaleja apnā
aa.e mastī ke din ayyām-e-bahārī aa.e
sher kī tarah lagā gūñjne sahrā apnā
na bharā jaam na saaqī ne kabhī yaad kiyā
tāq-e-nisyāñ pe dharā rahtā hai miinā apnā
dekhte bhī vo nahīñ aañkh uThā kar ham ko
saad hotā nahīñ sarkār meñ chehrā apnā
kis ke hāthoñ hadaf-e-tīr-e-balā ham na hue
dil hai mānind-e-kamāñ sab se kashīda apnā
dil-jale dūd-e-pareshāñ kī tarah haiñ barbād
ham kahīñ Thahreñ to batlā.eñ Thikānā apnā
kaun mushtāq hai ham daaġh dikhā.eñ kis ko
dekheñ ḳhud sūrat-e-tā.ūs tamāshā apnā
sharm bande kī tire haath hai ai rabb-e-karīm
na khule ḳhaak ke parde meñ bhī pardā apnā
ham ko jo rañj pahuñchte haiñ vo kis se kahiye
ham ko mehmān samajhtī nahīñ duniyā apnā
zindagī chāhiye jañgal meñ bhī kuchh ḳhauf nahīñ
ai junūñ sher kā āḳhir kabhī ghar thā apnā
turfa ḳhushkī-o-tarī kī hai hameñ sair ai 'bahr'
dasht hai apnā ġhubār ashk hai dariyā apnā
qadr-dan koi na asfal hai na aala apna
na zamin par na falak par hai Thikana apna
dast-e-shafqat se diya aap ne chhalla apna
hath bhar baDh gaya sine mein kaleja apna
aae masti ke din ayyam-e-bahaari aae
sher ki tarah laga gunjne sahra apna
na bhara jam na saqi ne kabhi yaad kiya
taq-e-nisyan pe dhara rahta hai mina apna
dekhte bhi wo nahin aankh uTha kar hum ko
sad hota nahin sarkar mein chehra apna
kis ke hathon hadaf-e-tir-e-bala hum na hue
dil hai manind-e-kaman sab se kashida apna
dil-jale dud-e-pareshan ki tarah hain barbaad
hum kahin Thahren to batlaen Thikana apna
kaun mushtaq hai hum dagh dikhaen kis ko
dekhen KHud surat-e-taus tamasha apna
sharm bande ki tere hath hai ai rabb-e-karim
na khule KHak ke parde mein bhi parda apna
hum ko jo ranj pahunchte hain wo kis se kahiye
hum ko mehman samajhti nahin duniya apna
zindagi chahiye jangal mein bhi kuchh KHauf nahin
ai junun sher ka aaKHir kabhi ghar tha apna
turfa KHushki-o-tari ki hai hamein sair ai 'bahr'
dasht hai apna ghubar ashk hai dariya apna
