dar kyon jate hain ye darne wale log
marne se pahle hi marne wale log

umr ke kitne pyare sal bachate hain
pyar mohabbat ishq na karne wale log

log wo kitni chain ki ninden sote hain
wada kar ke jald mukarne wale log

ek din sari dharti ko kha jaenge
ghas ke pichhe mitti charne wale log

jite ji kyon itna shor machate the
qabron mein sannata bharne wale log

dekhen nasihat kya wo hum ko padhate hain
waise nahin hain hum to sudharne wale log

tairne ki ummidon mein tum mat dubo
dub gae hain sare tairne wale log

lab se laga kar mai ki pyas bujhate hain
ped ke sar par chhata dharne wale log

raaz bulandi ke duniya se chhupate hain
sidhi se chup-chap utarne wale log

aaj 'alakh' ko kyon imkan mein dhundte ho
khak se kya ubhrenge ubharne wale log
