zindagi ajab hai
phir bhi apne pas

maut ko
phatakne nahin deti

jab ki hath mahrum hain
rozgar se

pet dane se
aur sar aasare se

sakht-jaan zindagi
hazar bar

mar kar bhi
zinda rahti hai

ummid ke ujalon mein
unchi udanon mein

apne aap se
jhunjhti hui

ki haqiqat mein
jise kahte hain zindagi

hamein bhi
hasil ho gai kabhi to

bas ye jazba
na kabhi marne pae
