labrez ho chuka hai paimana zindagi ka
sun jao ab bhi aa kar afsana zindagi ka

jab haal aap hi ne puchha na zindagi ka
phir kis ko hum sunaen afsana zindagi ka

ab hum hain aur zalim teri gali ke chakkar
gardish mein aa gaya hai paimana zindagi ka

kya aap sun sakenge rudad-e-yas-o-hasrat
kya aap ko sunaun afsana zindagi ka

aao ki be-tumhaare dam ruk gaya hai lab par
kyon tul kar rahi ho afsana zindagi ka

khud mere chaaragar ka chehra utar chala hai
ab de fareb mujh ko duniya na zindagi ka

aao ki aa rahe hain ab naza ke pasine
yani chhalak chala hai paimana zindagi ka

tum bhi ho kuchh khajil se mera bhi ruk chala dam
kah do to khatm kar dun afsana zindagi ka

daman pe gir rahe hain ai 'abr' ashk-e-rangin
likhta hun khun-e-dil se afsana zindagi ka
