Jab zindagi aadhi beet chuki hai,
Tab zindagi jeene ka khayal aaya.
Jab har khushi Ruth chuki hai,
Tab muskurane ka khayal aaya.
Jab dill chur-chur ho chuka hai,
Tab dill lagane ka khayal aaya.
Jab zindagi aadhi beet chuki hai,
Tab zindagi jeene ka khayal aaya.
Jab halaton ne kamar tod di,
Tab uth kar dodne ka khayal aaya. Jab zindagi aadhi beet chuki hai,
Tab zindagi jeene ka khayal aaya.
Zindagi beeti hai...
