zindagi ho meri nazar mein ho
ho dawaon mein chashm-e-tar mein ho

jab bhi likkha hai tum ko likkha hai
tum hi lafzon mein ho satar mein ho

tum hi mehwar ho har takhayyul ka
mir-o-ghaalib mein ho zafar mein ho

tum fazaon mein raqs karti ho
ku-ba-ku phailti khabar mein ho

ab zamane se kya chhupaun main
tum to mahtab ho nazar mein ho

meri qismat bane bhi rishte qamar
koi tum sa jo mere ghar mein ho

kuchh labon par hamein bhi hai 'aslam'
ji ke utre hue bhanwar mein ho
