inhin khilaunon se tum bhi bahal sako to chalo

zindagi parchhaiyan apni liye
aainon ke darmiyan se aai hai

kabhi khole to kabhi zulf ko bikhrae hai
zindagi sham hai aur sham Dhali jae hai

kuchh to hai baat jo aati hai qaza ruk ruk ke
zindagi qarz hai qiston mein ada hoti hai

zindagi mahw-e-KHud-arai thi
aankh uTha kar bhi na dekha hum ne
