kaTh-putli hai ya jiwan hai jite jao socho mat
soch se hi sari uljhan hai jite jao socho mat
likha hua kirdar kahani mein hi chalta phirta hai
kabhi hai duri kabhi milan hai jite jao socho mat
nach sako to nacho jab thak jao to aaram karo
TeDha kyun ghar ka aangan hai jite jao socho mat
har mazhab ka ek hi kahna jaisa malik rakkhe rahna
jab tak sanson ka bandhan hai jite jao socho mat
ghum rahe hain bazaron mein sarmayon ke aatish-dan
kis bhaTTi mein kaun indhan hai jite jao socho mat
Ghazal
KaTh-putli hai ya jiwan hai jite jao socho mat
