Zindagi-E-Dard

Raahon me badnaam zindagi ke hum chal diye,
chodh ke unka saath akele me zeher ke ghooth pee liye,
kyun itne dukh deti hain zindagi ke hum sambhal naa paye (2)
bithaya hain khushi ke maahol me magar dil ko har waqt yaad sataye.

Janne kab sikhenge dil-e-dard ko behlana,
jinke liye zindagi mein jeete the woh dilbaar aaj huva beganaa,
kya zaalim hain yeh mausam-e-hayaat eh dost (2)
kabhi dhoop to kabhi chawn udate hain hosh.

Kuch bhi ho zindagi ko apna naa to hoga,
har zakhm ko roote huve maitana to hoga,
kare kya oos humsafar ki baat e zindagi (2)
aaj unki bidaai me ashirwaad dena to hoga!
