zindagi ki tawil raaton mein
jab kabhi jaeza liya main ne

zindagi ko ajib paya hai
aur main sochta hi rahta hun

zindagi bhi ajib chakkar hai
kabhi shahnaiyon mein dasti hai

kabhi shahnaiyon mein basti hai
kabhi diwana-war hansti hai

aur kabhi maut ko tarasti hai
al-gharaz ek sarab hai hasti

kitni khana-kharab hai hasti
