Wo jo haal tha wohi haal hai kahoon kis tarha naya saal hai,

Wohi zindgi keh wabaal hai kahoon kis tarha naya saal hai.

Wohi bay yaqeeni har taraf wohi na umeedi chaar soo,

Wohi ghareebon ka haal hai kahoon kis tarha naya saal hai.

Wohi intshaar C Zindagi hai wohi ghubaar C zindagi,

Wohi saans lena mahaal hai kahoon kis tarha naya saal hai.

Wohi phool phool pay titliyan hain dari hui keh mari hui,

Wohi bay hisi ki misaal hai kahoon kis tarha naya saal hai.

Wohi khawaab hain keh azaab hain Keh roz-o-shab k azaab hain,

K kitni maaon ka bura haal hai kis tarha kahoon naya sal hai.
