dastan-e-gham hum ne kah bhi di to kya hoga
aur badh gai dil ki be-kali to kya hoga

umr-e-rafta ke qisse dosto na doharao
koi yaad-e-khwabida jag uthi to kya hoga

zindagi to apni hai lut gai to phir kya gham
gham teri amanat hai chhin gai to kya hoga

dard se sanwari hai ruh-e-zindagi hum ne
dard ko na ras aai zindagi to kya hoga
