bebasi zindagi ki aas mein hai
kya bataun ki kya gilas mein hai

zakhm yaadon ke khun ummidon ka
jaane kya kya dil-e-udas mein hai

aaj kis zahar se bharun is ko
wo samundar jo meri pyas mein hai

dhak sake jo kisi gharib ka tan
phul aisa koi kapas mein hai

khud khizan puchhti hai rah rah kar
fasl-e-gul aaj kis libas mein hai
