jaane kya kuchh hai aaj hone ko
ji mera chahta hai rone ko

ek umr aur hath kya aaya
zindagi kya mili thi khone ko

aablon se pate pade hain hum
koi nishtar bhi de chubhone ko

dida-e-tar bhi aaj kho aae
us ke aage gae the rone ko

ret mutthi mein bhar ke baithe hain
hath mein kuchh rahe to khone ko

apni hasti ka haal kya kahiye
hum hue aah kuchh na hone ko

kitne sada hain hum ki baithe hain
dagh-e-dil aansuon se dhone ko
