Sabhi poochte hai mujhse jindagi kya hai,
Main poochta hu khuda ki bandagi kya hai,
Jisse dekha nahi uss se hai itna pyar phir bhi,
Jinda insaano se ye sabki dushmani kya hai..

Apne liye jiya karte hain jaanwar bhi yahan,
Khud se bhala ye teri dosti kya hai..

Jo ek aansoo na pooch paye kissi ke ab tak,
Aise jeene ki bhala tujhko aarzoo kya hai..

Gar insaniyat ka labz jan hi na saka tu,
Gaahe-ba-gaahe muskurane ki hasrat kya hai..

Jo jeena ka salika hi na aaya tujhe yahan,
Jindagi se bhala ye teri ulfat kya hai..

Har bat pe pooche hai jindagi kya hai..
Main poochta hu KHUD ki bandagi kya hai..
