zindagi aaj bhi ek masala hai
na takhayyul

na haqiqat
na fareb-e-rangin

git qurban kiye
shola-e-dil nazr

naghma-e-khwab diye
phir bhi ye masala

git mausam ka
hasin jism ka

khwabon ka jise
main ne aur mere ham-asron ne gaya tha use

zindagi sunti nahin
sun ke bhi hans deti hai

aag
jazbaat ki aag

dil-nashin
shabnamin

masum khayalat ki aag
apne qasbe ki kisi dard bhari raat ki aag

zindagi aaj bhi har aag pe hans deti hai
kaun jaane ki meri tarah ho marghub ise

dard-e-dil nashsha-e-mai
zindagi aaj bhi ek masala hai

aur ise hal hona hai
main agar naza mein hun

hal to ise hona hai
dil ye kahta hai ki le jae jahan raat chalo

aur science ye kahti hai, mere sath chalo
