Kabhi ruswaiyon mein, kabhi tanhaiyon mein,

Humne khud ko paaya hai bas parchaiyon mein..

Jo kuch bhi mila mujhko bas tukadon mein hi mila,

Kismat ne likha hai mujhko feenki syahiyon mein..

Sabhi mujhse mere ashkon ka sabab poochte hain,

Kya karun main jo maatam hi lage shehnaiyon mein..

Aye zindagi ab tu hi badha le daaman apna,

Duba jaata hun main gumon ki gehraiyon mein..
