yun zindagi ko zer-o-zabar kar rahe hain hum
har din hi gardishon mein basar kar rahe hain hum

manzil ki hai talash magar ye khabar nahin
kaghaz ki kashtiyon mein safar kar rahe hain hum

ai shab sambhal ki tere andheron ki khair ho
khud mein talash najm-o-qamar kar rahe hain hum

kuchh hasraton ke qafile kuchh khwahishon ke ghar
bas khwab khwab hi mein basar kar rahe hain hum

khurshed hum ko teri tamazat ka dar nahin
ek tukhm-e-na-tawan ko shajar kar rahe hain hum

tu rabb-e-kainat hai parwardigar hai
sajde tujhe hi sham-o-sahar kar rahe hain hum

hum ne talash-e-ishq mein haari hai zindagi
ahl-e-junun ko aaj khabar kar rahe hain hum

hai maqsad-e-hayat ki manzil mile 'sadaf'
us ki talash sham-o-sahar kar rahe hain hum
