maut talti hai to dil dukhta hai
jaan sambhalti hai to dil dukhta hai

khwab jhad jate hain patton ki tarah
rut badalti hai to dil dukhta hai

khak hone ka sila khak nahin
shama jalti hai to dil dukhta hai

chal chalao ki hain zad par sare
sans chalti hai to dil dukhta hai

chand ek mand hua jab se 'shahab'
raat dhalti hai to dil dukhta hai
