Yahii haalaat ibtadaa se rahe 
log hamase khafaa khafaa se rahe 


bevafaa tum kabhii na the lekin 
ye bhii sach hai ki bevafaa se rahe 


in chiraago.n me.n tel hii kam thaa 
kyo.n gilaa phir hame.n havaa se rahe 


bahas, shatra.nj sher mausiiqii 
tum nahii.n rahe to ye dilaase rahe 


usake ba.ndo.n ko dekhakar kahiye 
hamako ummiid kyaa khudaa se rahe 


zindagii kii sharaab maa.ngate ho 
ham ko dekho ki pii ke pyaase rahe
