ye dukh kam kyun nahin hota
meri jaanan

hamein bichhde to
kitne

din
mahine

sal
guzre hain

magar ye chot
gahri hai

magar ye zakhm
taze hain

ye dukh kam kyun nahin hota
meri jaanan

agar main sath
do panchhi bhi baithe dekhta hun to

mere mazi ka har manzar
meri aankhon ke doron mein

ubharta hai
tadapta hai

meri aankhon ki putli dub jati hai
ye dukh kam kyun nahin hota

meri jaanan
wo sare log

jin ki wajh se
hum log bichhde the

mukammal zindagi kar ke
wo sab qabr mein soe hain

tumhaara dukh mere sine mein lekin
ab bhi zinda hai

jawan hota hi jata hai
ye dukh kam kyun nahin hota

meri jaanan
ab itni muddaton mein

tum bhi shayad
bhul baithi ho

mere sab dost rishta-dar
lakhon mil aage hain

safar mein zindagi ke
magar main rah gaya kirdar

tanha
is kahani mein

ye dukh kam kyun nahin hota
meri jaanan
