Kaisi mod pe utar rahi hai Zindagi,
Jis me kuch aas tha wo na Kabhi raas aayi ,
Jo tha hi nahi bas usi se ab gujar rahi......!!


khwab ki Mohabbatein wese to na khatam hui,,
Na koi Zindagi Puri bharke rang laayi,
Saare kasme wade sar jhukaye khade mile,
ummid saare gaon me hi chhod aayi....!!

Pyas ka ehsaas to akhir chhut chuki thi,
Dil ki dariya se fir wasta hi kya raha,
Kuch na rahi jahan,
Ruthe khwab me ab Zindagi wahi sawar gayi....!!

Ek khunti pe baandhe khayalo ki naab ,
Kabhi musafirsa chale the asiya dhun ne,
Saapno me jab manzil chhuti, chillate hi kaise,
Khayalo ki zanzir bhi halato se chhut gayi....!!

Hum to the usi samandar ki hi machhli,
Sapno me kya paani dekh, chik uthe,
Kuch kabaro ko to mili thi phul,
Kuch to sukhe patto se hi lipat gayi...!!

Wasta jahan Kahan se Jo reh gaya,
Lakir bhi haaton me hi simat gaya,
Kya jikar kare Khairat se Mili halat ki,
Zindagi bas ek naam ki aur guzar Gaya....!!
