Zindagi ki daud mein maine
khud ko akela hi paya hai,
Dusro ko apnate apnate maine
khud ko hi kar diya parya hai.

Khwaish thi kai meri par ab
Bas khwab ban reh gaye hai,
Uchaiyon ko maine sirf imarato par hi paya hai
Barish ki bondo mein apne aansoo ko maine duniya se chupaya hai.

Dar tha jo mera sabse bada
Aaj wo zindagi ki kadwi sacchi hai,
Sab pass hote hue bhi mere
Charo taraf tanhai hai.

Zindagi ki daud mein maine
Khud ko akela hi paya hai.
