phir koi mushkil jawan hone ko hai
doston ka imtihan hone ko hai

jhonke dam sadhe khade hain chaar-su
koi hangama yahan hone ko hai

bhig jaane par bhi jo bujhta na tha
aaj wo shoala dhuan hone ko hai

ye bahaaren aur gul bute nidhaal
fasl-e-gul daur-e-khizan hone ko hai

zindagi se kijiye ummid kya
zindagi khud raegan hone ko hai

zabt ka had se guzarna dekhiye
raaz aankhon se bayan hone ko hai

manzil-e-maqsud jab aai nazar
rahbar sang-e-garan hone ko hai
