har ek lamha tabiat pe bar hai, kya hai
tumhaara gham ki gham-e-rozgar hai, kya hai

wo hum pe aaj bahut jalwa-bar hai kya hai
ab is ada mein adawat hai, pyar hai, kya hai

sitam to ye hai ki is ahd-e-jabr mein bhi yahan
malul hai na koi be-qarar hai, kya hai

hazar rang-ba-daman sahi magar duniya
bas ek silsila-e-etibar hai, kya hai

faza chaman ki hai aisi ki kuchh nahin khulta
khizan ki rut hai ki fasl-e-bahaar hai, kya hai

suna hai raat to kab ki guzar gai lekin
hamein sahar ka abhi intizar hai, kya hai

chaman hamara hai lekin chaman hamara nahin
na bebasi na koi ikhtiyar hai, kya hai

batae jate hain unwan nae nae 'nikhat'
magar tamasha wahi wahi bar bar hai, kya hai
