ab kise chaaragar-e-dard kahen
dard hota hai har ek aan siwa

dard pahle bhi to hota tha bahut
sakht aur aisa ki jaan ka dushman

maut aane ke yaqin ka hamdam
zinda rahne ke guman ka dushman

lekin us dard ki kuchh aur thi baat
dard uthta bhi hai dil mein ki nahin uthta hai

hone pata hi na tha is ka kisi pal ehsas
hone pata na tha ek aan ye ojhal ehsas

ki jo begane hon dukh ko na samajhne wale
un se dukh-dard na paenge to kya paenge

lekin ab koi bhi begana nahin
aur is baat ka dukh hota hai har aan bahut

aur dil hota hai rah rah ke pareshan bahut
ki nazar aate hain yun zist ke saman bahut

aur phir zist ke saman yakayak
dekhte hi dekhte ho jate hain patthar kyunkar

yun nazar aate to hain zist ke saman bahut
phir bhi jine se hai bezar har ek jaan bahut

aur ab koi bhi begana nahin
dard hota hai har ek aan siwa

ab kise chaaragar-e-dard kahen
