ho gaya hum pe jo na tha hona
zindagi tujh se kya khafa hona

kis qadar hai bura zamane mein
aadmi ka zara bura hona

do ghadi ke liye tera milna
zindagi bhar ka hai juda hona

us ne badh kar mujhe sanbhaala hai
kaam aaya shikasta-pa hona

raat katti hai jis ki aankhon mein
puchhiye us se subh ka hona

ye zamane ki tez dhup 'nasib'
aur apna barahna-pa hona
