baadshahon ko sikhaya hai qalandar hona
bādshāhoñ ko sikhāyā hai qalandar honā
aap āsān samajhte haiñ munavvar honā
ek aañsū bhī hukūmat ke liye ḳhatra hai
tum ne dekhā nahīñ āñkhoñ kā samundar honā
sirf bachchoñ kī mohabbat ne qadam rok liye
varna āsān thā mere liye be-ghar honā
ham ko ma.alūm hai shohrat kī bulandī ham ne
qabr kī miTTī kā dekhā hai barābar honā
is ko qismat kī ḳharābī hī kahā jā.egā
aap kā shahr meñ aanā mirā bāhar honā
sochtā huuñ to kahānī kī tarah lagtā hai
rāste se mirā taknā tirā chhat par honā
mujh ko qismat hī pahuñchne nahīñ detī varna
ek e.azāz hai us dar kā gadāgar honā
sirf tārīḳh batāne ke liye zinda huuñ
ab mirā ghar meñ bhī honā hai calendar honā
baadshahon ko sikhaya hai qalandar hona
aap aasan samajhte hain munawwar hona
ek aansu bhi hukumat ke liye KHatra hai
tum ne dekha nahin aankhon ka samundar hona
sirf bachchon ki mohabbat ne qadam rok liye
warna aasan tha mere liye be-ghar hona
hum ko malum hai shohrat ki bulandi hum ne
qabr ki miTTi ka dekha hai barabar hona
is ko qismat ki KHarabi hi kaha jaega
aap ka shahr mein aana mera bahar hona
sochta hun to kahani ki tarah lagta hai
raste se mera takna tera chhat par hona
mujh ko qismat hi pahunchne nahin deti warna
ek eazaz hai us dar ka gadagar hona
sirf tariKH batane ke liye zinda hun
ab mera ghar mein bhi hona hai calendar hona
