Zindgi kis tarah bitao gay,

Pass jab apnay hamein na pao gay,

Din mein tanhayian sataaein gi,

Raat ko chonk kar uth jao gay,

Raat bhar neend kyon nahi aati,

Tum ye khud bhe samajh na pao gay,

Log puchein gay is tanhai ka sabab,

Kia chupao gay kia batao gay,

Palkein har bar bheeg jaaein gi,

Jab bhe khul kay muskurao gay,

Meri yaadein bahout sataein gi,

Jab bhe barish mein bheeg jao gay,

Khud ko tanha na pa sako gay kabhi,

Har jagah mera akks pao gay !
