dil ko ye samjhana hai
duniya pagal-khana hai

wo kaisa begana hai
dil jis ka diwana hai

fitrat ke begar sabhi
shama hai parwana hai

jiwan dukh-sukh sukh-dukh sab
uljha tana-bana hai

hire moti ro lena
hansne ka harjaana hai

sapna hai ye jiwan aur
duniya ek afsana hai

hasil ka bhi hasil kya
aakhir to mar jaana hai

manzil waise dur nahin
rasta kuchh an-jaana hai

maut ke qadmon mein rakkha
hasti ek nazrana hai

'pinhan' ab to har ek ko
shair hi kahlana hai
