aakhiri sanson talak ladti rahi
zindagi ummid hun kahti rahi

chand jumlon mein kahi sab ke liye
wo kahani umr-bhar chalti rahi

jaane kya hai baat par manzil mujhe
rahguzar chhu kar teri milti rahi

yaad to aaya na ho aisa nahin
did ki khwahish magar mitti rahi

lakh ghaw ko chhupaya tha magar
zakhm dhakne ki rida phatti rahi
