lab pe jhute tarane hote hain
kya karen gham chhupane hote hain

wo bhi kaise zamane hote hain
jab qafas aashiyane hote hain

yun hi aati nahin khushi ki bahaar
saikdon gham uthane hote hain

zindagi ka kuchh e'tibar nahin
maut ke sau bahane hote hain

is tarah baithta nahin chhup kar
jis ko jalwe dikhane hote hain
