Raah ke taalib hain par beraah padate hain qadam
Dekhiye kya dhundhate hain aur kya paate hain ham
Apani bhi kya zindagi hai niraali
Jahaan gaye thukaraaye gaye jaise botal khaali
Rangin vo zamaana tha sapana vo kya suhaana tha
Tab subah-o-shaam kushiyon ke jaam har saans ek taraana tha
Ab to bas har ghadi dukh bhari bebasi
Aas ki har kiran ashq ban bah gayi
Apani bhi kya zindagi
Kya nind kisako sona hai ab saari raat rona hai
Dukhade bichha ke sab kuchh bhul ke bas ek baar sona hai
Zindagi-zindagi o meri laadali
Aa gale mil hai shaayad ye raat aakari
Apani bhi kya zindagi
