zindagaanee ka koee maqasad nahin hai
ek bhee qad aaj aadamaqad nahin hai
raam jaane kis jagah honge qabootar
is imaarat mein koee gumbad nahin hai
aapase mil kar hamen aksar laga hai
husn mein ab jazba-e-amazad nahin hai
ped-paudhe hain bahut baune tumhaare
raaston mein ek bhee baragad nahin hai
maikade ka raasta ab bhee khula hai
sirf aamad-raft hee zaayad nahin
is chaman ko dekh kar kisane kaha tha
ek panchhee bhee yahaan shaayad nahin hai.
