Ye zindagi toh...

Ye zindagi toh gulab si hai,
kaanton mein uljhi hai naqab si hai,

Kisi ka khoobsurat ehsaas ho jaise,
khuli aankhon se dikhta khawab si hai.

Chaand ki chandni baadlon mein simti hai,
rukhsar pe haya hai shabab si hai.

Yun na dekho ke qatl ho jaayega,
nasha hai aankhon mein sharab si hai.

Koi padhkar bhi na samajh paaya hai,
khamosh lafzon ki kitaab si hai.

Bujhte chiragon ko roshan kar do,
ta umar guzarni hai aftaab si hai.
