zindagi to nahin tum
magar meri jaan

zindagi ki tarah ho
dubti sham sahil pe

koi parinda ude
dur manjdhaar mein

naw se koi manjhi lagae sada
sarsarae hawa

koi patta hile
koi ghuncha khile

yaad aati ho tum
aur aisi hi rut mein

kabhi man-chali
narm-o-nazuk hawa

gudgudati to hogi
tumhein meri jaan

aur ek be-adab
sar-phira naujawan

yaad aata to hoga tumhein na-gahan
mujh ko ehsas hai

fasle hain bahut
duriyan hain badi

manzilen hain kadi
phir bhi ai jaan-e-jaan

ye to socho zara
hum akele bhi ek dusre ke bina

ji to lenge magar
kya ye jina hua

zahr pina hua
