dekhe jo meri neki ko shak ki nigah se

kya nahin jaanta mujhe koi

jis se sare charagh jalte the

kaise ho kya hai haal mat puchho

chand suraj ki tarah tum bhi ho qudrat ka khel

zindagi is qadar kaThin kyun hai

apni aadat ki sab se sab kah den

wo bhi hamare nam se begane ho gae

jhankte raat ke gareban se

zindagi humse to is darja taghaful na barat

guftugu tir si lagi dil mein

jhuTi ummid ki ungli ko pakaDna chhoDo

but samajhte the jis ko sare log

ek wahi shaKHs mujhko yaad raha

kuchh to apne liye bhi rakhna hai
