kyuuñ darein zindagi men kya hogaa kuchh na hogaa to tajurba hogaa

manzilen kya hain raasta kya hai hausla ho to fasla kya hai

hui muddat ki ghalib mar gaya par yaad aata hai vo har ik baat par kehna ki yuñ hota to kya hota

chaan dii sona ek taraf teraa hona ek taraf ek taraf teri aañkhen jaadu toona ek taraf

teri soorat se hai aalam men bahaaron ko sabaat teri aankhoñ ke siva duniya men rakha kya hai

kal us kii aankh ne kya zinda guftugoo kii thii gumaan tak na hua vo bichhadne vaala hai

jaane kis mod pe le aayi ha men teri talab sar pe suraj bhi nahin raah men saaya bhi nahin

chaman men rakhte hain kaañte bhi ik maqaam ai dost faqat gulon se hi gulshan kii aabroo to nahin

ye sard raat ye aawaargi ye neend ka bojh ham apne shahar men hote to ghar chale jaate

aasmaanon se farishte jo utaare jaayen vo bhi is daur men sach bolein to maare jaayen
