abhi to zinda hain kahte ho yara kya hoga
hamare baad na jaane tumhaara kya hoga

hamara khud pe guzara nahin hai muddat se
hamare sath kisi ka guzara kya hoga

wo mere sath gharibi mein bhi bahut khush hai
shab-e-siyah jab aai sitara kya hoga

ye dekhne ke liye kyon na ek din mar jaen
hamare sath usi din dobara kya hoga

wo jis ke nisf ne pagal kiya hai duniya ko
main sochta hun haqiqat mein sara kya hoga

hamare naqsh-e-qadam se qadam milao magar
hamara kuchh na bana to tumhaara kya hoga

zaban lipti hui hai gale se murde ki
sawal ye nahin kaise pukara kya hoga

wo mil ke jae to lagta nahin mila hai kabhi
agar kinara kare to kinara kya hoga

jinhen pata tha sabhi kuchh wo log bhi na rahe
hamein pata hi nahin kuchh hamara kya hoga

pahan liya hai use aankh mund kar main ne
wagarna sochta rahta utara kya hoga
