Zindagi

Mazak ban kar rahe gayi zindagi

Riste nasoor si chubhti zindagi

Har pal maut ko tarasti zindagi

Haatash bebas lachar zindagi

 

Lamhe lamhe ke bhojh tale dabi zindagi

Roshni ko tarasti andheron mein phasi zindagi

Raste talashti bhatki si zindagi

Bheegi palkon se bhojhal  zindagi

 

Halaat se haari, waqt ki maari

Khwaishon ke khoon se sani majboor zindagi

Khushi se mehroon gamgeen zindagi

Bholi bhali masoom par hataash zindagi

 

Na ummedi ke dal dal mein dhasi zindagi

Har shaksh har insaan se darti zindagi

Sukoon ko dhoonti pareshan zindagi

Duniya ke melee mein akeli zindagi

 

Dard se jhooghti, aansuon se bhari

Tanha akeli hai abhishap zindagi

Pal pal marke bhi zinda zindagi

Muskan sajaye roti se zindagi

 

Mazak ban gayi sanjeeda zindagi

Kismet se haari, halat se jhagadti

Hataash behaal bebas zindagi

 

Kyun mazak ban kar rah gayi zindagi

Han shayad mazak hi ban kar reh gayi zindagi
