aaj mana
dard-e-dil behad bada hai

raat ko shikwa hai din se
subh ka gham bhi siwa hai

tum magar itna to socho
zindagi kab

ek jaise raste par
chal saki hai jo chalegi

aabdida manzaron se
qahqahe bhi phutte hain

aur zamin ko
jhuk ke unche

aasman bhi chumte hain
ek zara ruk kar to dekho

hausla kar ke to dekho
kis qadar kichad mein rah kar

muskuraata hai kanwal
