zindagi bhar yahi azab raha
mujh pe mubham tera jawab raha

jaise tu be-hisab tha mera
dukh bhi waise hi be-hisab raha

zindagi to hasin thi lekin
bas mera tajraba kharab raha

aur thahro abhi chale jaana
chand lamhon ka bas hisab raha

naz nakaamiyon pe karta wo
main mohabbat mein kaamyab raha

qaid-e-jaan se main ho gaya aazad
ye raha tu ye tera khwab raha
