zist mein tarikiyan badhti gain
lamha lamha siskiyan badhti gain

be-zaban jab ho gai ye zindagi
zehn mein sargoshiyan badhti gain

khwahishon ke phul murjhane lage
phir meri ye hichkiyan badhti gain

zakhm kha kar muskuraate hi rahe
dil ki ye khamoshiyan badhti gain

sochte hi sochte guzra safar
khwab ki sarmastiyan badhti gain
