vo afsaana jise anjaam tak laana na ho mumakin
use ik khoob-soorat mod de kar chhodana achchha
dekha hai zindagee ko kuchh itane qareeb se
chehare tamaam lagane lage hain ajeeb se
tera milana khushee kee baat sahee
tujh se mil kar udaas rahata hoon
hazaar barq gire laakh aandhiyaan utthen
vo phool khil ke rahenge jo khilane vaale hain
kabhee khud pe kabhee haalaat pe rona aaya
baat nikalee to har ik baat pe rona aaya
ham to samajhe the ki ham bhool gae hain un ko
kya hua aaj ye kis baat pe rona aaya
tang aa chuke hain kashamakash-e-zindagee se ham
thukara na den jahaan ko kaheen be-dilee se ham
gam aur khushee mein farq na mahasoos ho jahaan
main dil ko us maqaam pe laata chala gaya
kaun rota hai kisee aur kee khaatir ai dost
sab ko apanee hee kisee baat pe rona aaya
is tarah zindagee ne diya hai hamaara saath
jaise koee nibaah raha ho raqeeb se
