ab tak tum se kaha gaya hai
insan fani maut aTal hai
jiwan jal hai
jis ki dhaar kabhi na TuTe
jo aata hai mar jata hai
jo aaega mar jaega
main tum se kahne aaya hun
insan la-fani hai amar hai
maut taghayyur ka ek pul hai
jiwan jal hai
jis ka koi ant nahin hai
rah jae to ye sagar hai
aur mar jae to baadal hai
