zindagi! tujh ko magar sharm nahin aati kya
kaisi kaisi teri taswir nikal aai hai

Khursheed Akbar

gharibi kaTna aasan nahin hai
wo sari umr patthar kaTta hai

Khursheed Akbar

---

---

ai shahr-e-sitam-zad teri umr baDi ho
kuchh aur bata naql-e-makani ke alawa

Khursheed Akbar

---

---

aDi bholi hai KHarchili zarurat
shahanshahi kamai mangti hai

Khursheed Akbar

---

---

adan mein sans leta hai samundar
meri kashti hawa par chal rahi hai

Khursheed Akbar

---

---

chehre hain ki sau rang mein hote hain numayan
aaine magar koi siyasat nahin karte

Khursheed Akbar

---

---

dalilen chhin kar mere labon se
wo mujh ko mujh se behtar kaTta hai

Khursheed Akbar

---

---

dard ka zaiqa bataun kya
ye ilaqa zaban se bahar hai

Khursheed Akbar

---

---

dil hai ki tere panw se pazeb giri hai
sunta hun bahut der se jhankar kahin ki

Khursheed Akbar
