Tut chuka hun mein yeh duniya rukti kyun nahi,
Aisi kya jaldi hain?
Andhere ko rehne deti kyun nahi,
Thak gaya hun mein, mere thehrene se aitraaj kyun hain,
Hasraton mein rehke bhi mujhe kuchh haasil kyun nahi,
Ab shaam hone aa gayi hain zindagi mein,
Mujhe chahne wala koi najar mein kyun nahi,
Rehne do darwaaje khule mere ghar ke,
Daulat hi toh hain yaha churane ko cheej koi nahi,
Daulaton shauhraton se sadqa kiya mein apne dushmanon ka,
Nafrat ke siwa mujhe koi jajbaat haasil kyun nahi,
Chiraag jal rahe hain har ek kaune mein ghar ke,
Andhere se phir bhi mujhe aaram kyun nahi,
