Kabhi keh dete hai
Kabhi seh lete hai
Apne hi khyalon me
Ham khawabon ko bun lete hai
____________________________

Adhoora si jaan hai
Zindagi se pareshaan hai
Khud par na hai aitmaad
Na hi iss chehre par muskaan hai
____________________________

Khushi ki aas me
Kisike intezaar me
Ek zindagi beet jaani hai
Palat kar dekhe toh
Har hasi pheenki pad jaani hai
____________________________

Khwaishon ko dabaye
Nikal chale hai ham
Dil ke ehsaason ko
Lafzo me bayaan karne ki or
