dene wale ye zindagi di hai
ya mere sath dil-lagi ki hai

hum ko malum hi na tha ye raaz
maut ka nam zindagi bhi hai

aashiyanon ki khair ho yarab
sahn-e-gulshan mein raushni si hai

hum ne barson jigar jalaya hai
phir kahin dil mein raushni ki hai

aap se dosti ka ek mafhum
sari duniya se dushmani bhi hai

log marte hain zindagi ke liye
hum ne mar mar ke zindagi ki hai

hum ko mara hai aashiqi ne 'jalis'
log kahte hain khud-kushi ki hai
