yahan zindagi ke sahaare bahut hain
jo hai ek bhanwar to kinare bahut hain

ye mana ki tum ho sake na kisi ke
magar is jahan mein tumhaare bahut hain

teri chahaton ke tufail ai khudaya
jahan mein tere gham ke mare bahut hain

kabhi tutte hain jo ranjon ke baadal
falak par ubharte sitare bahut hain

kabhi aisa lagta hai koi nahin hai
kabhi yun hua ki hamare bahut hain

gharibi jahaalat tashaddud taraqqi
siyasat ki duniya mein nare bahut hain

hamare khayalon mein shabnam ke moti
haqiqat mein 'zahid' sharare bahut hain
