Aadhi Zindaagi Kaanton Pe Chalne Mein Nikal Gayi,
Aur Aadhi Unke Zakhmon Par Marham Lagane Mein

Aadhi Zindaagi Dard Mein Nikal Gayi,
Aur Aadhi Unhen Sharab Se Mitane Mein

Chaand Khud Ko Kab Tak Chupayega, Raat Ko Saamne Aana Hi Hain
Jawani Kab Tak Chupaogi, Ek Din Kisine Le Jana Hi Hain

Nasha Kab Tak Rahega, Hosh Mein Aana Hi Hain
Nazren Kab Tak Jhukaogi, Ek Din Milani Hi Hain

Jitni Nazdeek Phoolon Se Khusboo Nahin Hain, Utne Nazdeek Gam Mere Dil Se Hain
Jitne Nazdeek Baadal Paani Se Nahin Hain, Utne Nazdeek Gam Mere Dil Se Hain

Jitni Nazdeek Garmi Suraj Ke Nazdeek Nahin Hain, Utne Nazdeek Gam Mere Dil Se Hain
Jitni Nazdee Kashti Paani Se Nahin Hain, Utne Nazdeek Gam Mere Dil Se Hain

Sharab Ne Jo Hosh Chhina, Subah Vapas Aa Gaya,
Aapne Jo Hosh Chhina, Meri Arthi Tak Saath Gaya

Patjhad Ne Jis Gulistan Ko Ujaad Diya, Bahaar Ne Use Phir Hara-Bhara Kar Diya,
Aap Ki Mohabbat Ne Jo Zhakm Diya, Meri Arthi Tak Saath Gaya

Ab Kalam Kagaz Par Shayari Likhne Ki
Agah Unki Tasvir Bana Deti Hai

Ab Dil Ki Dhadkan Dhak Dhak Karne Ki
Jagah Unka Naam Leti Hai

Jo Kabhi Paas Hii Naa Aaye Door Kya Jayenge,
Patjhad Mein Rehne Wale Kya Bahaar Kaa Mausam Layenge
Bewafa Log Kya Hume Wafa Kii Bhasha Sikhayenge
Ekk Hawa Ke Jhonke Se Darne Wale Kya Toofan Se Takrayenge

Zindagi To Hai Magar Bahot Thodi,
Kya Manzil Milegi

Baarish To Hai Magar Bahot Halki,
Kya Harayali Hogi

Hasrat Thi Ki Saare Samandar Mujhe Mile,
Magar Sirf Ek Boond Paani Ki Mili

Hasrat Thi Ki Saara Mehkhana Mujhe Mile,
Magar Sirf Ek Boond Sharab Ki Mili

Duniya Se To Bahut Dokha Khaya Hai
Na Jaane Hamari Zindagi Kab Hame Dokha Degi

Kab Hamari Chalti Hui Saanson Ko,
Maut Apne Saath Uda Kar Le Jaayegi

Subah Hote Phulon Ne Bhavre Ko Apna Didar De Diya
Na Jaane Hamari Subah Kab Hogi

Subah Hote Ugte Suraj Ne Jahan Ko Roshan Kar Diya,
Na Jaane Hamari Zindagi Kab Roshan Hogi
