bahut sanbhaal ke rakkhee to paemaal huee
sadak pe phenk dee to zindagee nihaal huee
bada lagaav hai is mod ko nigaahon se
ki sabase pahale yaheen raushanee halaal huee
koee nijaat kee soorat nahin rahee, na sahee
magar nijaat kee koshish to ek misaal huee
mere zehn pe zamaane ka vo dabaab pada
jo ek slet thee vo zindagee savaal huee
samudr aur utha, aur utha, aur utha
kisee ke vaaste ye chaandanee vabaal huee
unhen pata bhee nahin hai ki unake paanvon se
vo khoon baha hai ki ye gard bhee gulaal huee
meree zubaan se nikalee to sirf nazm banee
tumhaare haath mein aaee to ek mashaal huee
