Zindagi kooye malaamaat mein ab to aayi hai,

Zindagi kooye malaamaat mein ab to aayi hai,
aur kuch chaahne waalo.n ke sabab aayi hai

hum faqeero.n mein kisi taur shikaayat teri
lab pe aayi bhi to taahadd e nazar aayi hai

phool se khilte chale jaate hain jaise dil mein
is gulistaa.n mein ajab mauj e tarab aayi hai

meri poshaak mein taare sr achaanak chhamke
kiske aangan se ye hoti hui shab aayi hai

kisse poochoo.n pas e deewaar e chaman kyaa guzri
mere ghar mein to hawaa muhar ba lab aayi hai

koun se phool the kal raat tere bistar pat,
aaj kHushbu tere pahlu se ajab aayi hai
