jaane kaisa hai zindagi ka safar
aagahi ka ya be-khudi ka safar

khak se ban ke khak ho jaana
daera mein hai har kisi ka safar

itna mushkil hai jitna lagta tha
hum ko aasan aashiqi ka safar

ye patinge se puchh kaisa tha
raushni se wo shoalagi ka safar

gar kisi se tumhein mohabbat hai
sang usi ke ho bandagi ka safar

ajnabi jo the ho gae jigri
kya maze ka hai dosti ka safar

sath ghafil-nawa azal sab hai
khub hai 'ahad' shairi ka safar
