zindagi ki sharab pani hai
aur wo bhi kharab pani hai

jaane wali sadi sada bar-lab
aane wala azab pani hai

nafraton ka badal mohabbat hai
aag ka ek jawab pani hai

harf-e-baatin bhi harf-e-zahir bhi
ek aisi kitab pani hai

ye samundar samajh nahin sakta
ek pyase ka khwab pani hai

ek qatra nahin hai aankhon mein
har taraf be-hisab pani hai
