aadmi ek tazad-e-baham hai
kabhi jannat kabhi jahannam hai

gham hai ek neamat-e-khudawandi
jitna barto usi qadar kam hai

iltifat aap ka baja lekin
kya khushi hai ki aankh pur-nam hai

bujh rahe hain charagh-e-dair-o-haram
dil jalao ki raushni kam hai

ab kisi se gila nahin mujh ko
apni duniya hi apna aalam hai
