Jiivan Kyaa Hai Chalataa Phirataa Ek Khilonaa Hai
Do Aankhon Mein Ek Se Hansanaa Ek Se Ronaa Hai

Jo Jii Chaahe Vo Mil Jaaye Kab Aisaa Hotaa Hai
Har Jiivan Jiivan Jiine Kaa Samajhautaa Hai

Dil-E-Puraarazuu Naakaam Hokar
Zyaadaa Khuubasuurat Ho Gayaa Hai

Karam Aise Kiye Hain Doston Ne
Ki Har Dushman Pe Pyaar Aane Lagaa Hai

Kal Na Main Itanaa Buraa Thaa Kyaa Huaa
Teraa Dil Bhii Aaiinaa Thaa Kyaa Huaa

Zindagii Mein Mod Kitane Aa Gaye
Ye To Siidhaa Raastaa Thaa Kyaa Huaa

Phir Is Duniyaa Se Ummiid-E-Vafaa Hai
Tujhe Ai Zindagii Kyaa Ho Gayaa Hai

Badii Zaalim Nihaayat Bevafaa Hai
Ye Duniyaa Phir Bhii Kitanii Khush-Numaa Hai

Jab Bhii Us Gul-Badan Kii Yaad Aaii
Ho Gaii Pur-Bahaar Tanhaaii

Chaunk Uthe Haadasaat Duniyaa Ke
Mere Honthon Pe Jab Hansii Aaii

Ye Intazaar Galat Hai Ki Shaam Ho Jaaye
Jo Ho Sake To Abhii Daur-E-Jaam Ho Jaaye

Khudaa-Na Khvaastaa Piine Lage Jo Vaaiz Bhii
Hamaare Vaaste Piina Haraam Ho Jaaye

Ye Zindagii Aaj Jo Tumhaare
Badan Kii Chhotii-Badii Nason Mein

Machal Rahii Hai Tumhaare Pairon
Se Chal Rahii Hai Tumhaarii Aavaaz Mein

Tum Ye Kaise Judaa Ho Gaye
Har Taraf Har Jagah Ho Gaye

Apanaa Cheharaa Na Badalaa Gayaa
Aaiine Se Khafaa Ho Gaye

Zahaanaton Ko Kahaan Karb Se Faraar Milaa
Jise Nigaah Milii Usako Intazaar Milaa

[Zahaanaton=intelligence; Karb=sorrow]

Sab Kii Puujaa Ek Sii, Alag Alag Har Riit
Masjid Jaaye Maulavii, Koyal Gaaye Giit

Puujaa Ghar Mein Muurtii, Miiraa Ke Sang Shyaam
Jitanii Jisakii Chaakarii, Utane Usake Daam
