zindagi ek safar hai sadiyon se
bahta aaya hai bahta jaega

hum agar is ko rokna chahen
maut ka sath dhundhna hoga

ye bhi sadiyon ki ek riwayat hai
jab bhi hum zindagi se ladte hain

aur chahte hain ki najat mile
maut hi sirf aisa rishta hai

jo hamein mo'atabar sa lagta hai
aur lagta hai mil ke hum us se

zindagi se najat pa lenge
aur pa lenge ek sukun jise

na zarurat ho sans lene ki
na hi aadat ho bahte rahne ki

kitne barson se kitni sadiyon se
bahta aaya hai zindagi ka safar

aur ab to ye haal hai is ka
bahte rahna hi is ki aadat hai

aadaten bhi ajib hoti hain
