Kabhi khud se sitam karein, kabhi khud se wafa karein,

Zindagi ye toh bata de kaise haq tera aada karein..

Na maut mein sukoon na hi jinda rehne pe guman hai,

Kis kadar dil ki hasraton ko hum iss dil se juda karein..

Kabhi halaat pe royen toh kabhi jajjbat pe royen,

Chahein bhi toh bhala kaise nigahen-e-regista karein..

Koi toh ho rehguzar apni, kabhi toh ek rasta mile,

Kaise basar ab ye zindagi-e-dastan karein..
