Yeh jo Zindagi ki Kitaab hai, 
   yeh kitaab bhi kya kitaab hai
Kahin ikk haseen sa khwaab hai
   kahin jaan-lewa azaab hai

Kahin chaaon hai kahin dhoop hai
   Kahin aur he koi roop hai
kae chehre iss mein chupe hue
   ikk ajeeb se yeh naqaab hai

Kahin khho diya kahin paa liya
   kahin ro liya kahin gaa liya
kahin cheen leti hai har khushi 
   kahin meharbaan behisaab hai

Kahin aansu-on ki daastan 
   kahin musqurahaton ka bayaan
kahin barqaton ki hai barishein
   kahin tishna-gi behisaab hai
