Zindagi yun hui basar tanha
Kaafila saath tha aur safar tanha!!

Apne saaye se chaunk jaate hain
Umra gujri hai is kadar tanha!!

Raat bhar bolte hain sannaate
Raat kaate koi kidhar tanha!!

Din guzarta nahi hai logon mein
Raat hoti nahi basar tanha!!

Hamne darwaaze tak to dekha tha
Phir na jaane gaye kidhar tanha!!
