insan ki duniya mein insan hai pareshan kyun

hamare ghar ke aangan mein sitare bujh gae lakhon

kaun dahshat-gard hai aur kaun hai dahshat-zada

shahr mein jurm-o-hawadis is qadar hain aaj-kal

kya usi ka nam hai ranai-e-bazm-e-hayat

le gaya wo chhin kar meri jawani

log manzil ki taraf lapke hain lekin

waqt aur haalat par kya tabsira kije ki jab

sochta hun to aur baDhti hai

apni diwaron se kuchh bahar nikal

subh aati hai dabe panw chali jati hai

kar gaya suraj sabhi ko be-libas

teri parchhain simaTti jaegi

koi dana koi diwana mila

wo jahan chahe chala jae ye us ka iKHtiyar
