zindagi phir ik baar muj se khailnay chali hai,

mujay anjani rahon peh dhakailnay chali hai,

ik ajnabi chupkay se dil main aa raha hai,

shaaid zindagi usay meri taraf phairnay chali hai,

ya ik daam-e-fraib main phasnay chala hoon main,

ore zindagi mujay chaaron taraf se ghairnay chali hai,

iss gumnam rah ka anjaam na janay kiya ho,

shaaid ik andhay kowain main undailnay chali hai,

jo ajnabi chund lamhay bhi na day saka mujay,

nadaan zindagi usay yeh zindagi dainay chali hai,

shaaid ansoowon ki duwaein kabool hoi hain sid,

yaa zindagi mujay, tinkon ki tarah, bakhairnay chali hai,
