ye jo zindagi ki kitab hai ye kitab bhi kya kitab hai

mayassar muft mein the aasman ke chand tare tak

mere dil ke kisi kone mein ek masum sa bachcha

dil bhi bachche ki tarah zid pe aDa tha apna

sham ko jis waqt Khaali hath ghar jata hun main

baDi taswir laTka di hai apni

maine to baad mein toDa tha ise

dil bhi ek zid pe aDa hai kisi bachche ki tarah

kaun paDhta hai yahan khol ke ab dil ki kitab

bulandi ke liye bas apni hi nazron se girna tha

sab log is se pahle ki dewta samajhte

yahan har shaKHs har pal hadsa hone se Darta hai

kisi din zindagani mein karishma kyun nahin hota

meri ek zindagi ke kitne hisse-dar hain lekin

aadmi hi ke banae hue zindan hain ye sab
