meri hayat ye hai aur ye tumhaari qaza
ziyaada kis se kahun aur kis ko kam bolo

tum ahl-e-khana rahe aur main yatim hua
tumhaara dard bada hai ya mera gham bolo

tumhaara daur tha ghar mein bahaar hansti thi
abhi to dar pe faqat ranj-o-gham ki dastak hai

tumhaare sath ka mausam bada hasin raha
tumhaare baad ka mausam bada bhayanak hai

hazaron qarz the mujh par tumhaari ulfat ke
mujhe wo qarz chukane ka mauqa to dete

tumhaara khun mere jism mein machalta raha
zara se qatre bahane ka mauqa to dete

bade sukun se tum so gae wahan ja kar
ye kaise nind tumhein aa gai nae ghar mein

har ek shab main faqat karwaten badalta hun
tumhaari qabr ke kankar hon jaise bistar mein

main bojh kandhon pe aise utha ke chalta hun
tumhaara jaise janaza utha ke chalta tha

yahan pe meri pareshani sirf meri hai
wahan koi na koi kandha to badalta tha

tumhaari sham-e-tamanna bas ek raat bujhi
charagh meri tawaqqoa ke roz bujhte hain

main sans lun bhi to kaise ki meri sanson mein
tumhaari dubti sanson ke tir chubhte hain

main jab bhi chhuta hun apne badan ki mitti ko
to lams phir usi thande badan ka hota hai

libas roz badalta hun main bhi sab ki tarah
magar khayal tumhaare kafan ka hota hai

bahut tawil kahani hai meri hasti ki
tumhaari maut to ek mukhtasar fasana hai

wo jis gali se janaza tumhaara nikla tha
usi gali se mera roz aana jaana hai

main koi rah hun tum rah dekhne wale
ki muntazir to mara par na intizar mara

tumhaari maut meri zindagi se behtar hai
tum ek bar mare main to bar bar mara
