aao ab zabt aazmaen hum
ek duje ko bhul jaen hum

kyon na ek bar aisa wasl karen
jism ko dur chhod aaen hum

zindagi jab safar hai do din ka
kyon na ek ham-safar banaen hum

hum ko apni koi khabar hi nahin
khud ko kaise talash laen hum

badi mushkil se ek jaan mili
kaise is jaan ko ganwaen hum

khud-kushi kyon na is ada se karen
us ki aankhon mein dub jaen hum

tum shikasta badan ho kyon 'kashif'
ahl-e-duniya ko kya bataen hum
