zindagi aaina hai aaina-arai hai ajnabi bhi hai wahi jis se shanasai hai sang-dil samne aata hai to ye sochta hun aarzu husn ki diwar se takrai hai aaj ki raat bhi karta hai koi kufr ki baat chand ke phul mein shabnam ki sharab aai hai kis ko is daur mein hai fursat-e-ishq-e-khuban aag tere lab o rukhsar ne barsai hai tu nahin hai to har ek jura-e-mahtab-sifat yaad ki aankh se tapki hui tanhai hai dil wo sahra hai jahan hasrat-e-saya bhi nahin dil wo duniya hai jahan rang hai ranai hai
