Zindagii jaisii tamannaa thii nahiin kuchh kam hai
har ghaDii hotaa hai ehasaas kahiin kuchh kam hai

ghar kii taamiir tasavvur hii men ho sakatii hai
apane naqshe ke mutaabiq ye zamiin kuchh kam hai

bichhaDe logon se mulaaqaat kabhii phir hogii
dil men ummiid to kaafii hai yaqiin kuchh kam hai

ab jidhar dekhiye lagataa hai ki is duniyaa men
kahiin kuchh chiiz ziyaadaa hai kahiin kuchh kam

aaj bhii hai terii duurii hii udaasii kaa sabab
ye alag baat ki pahalii sii nahiin kuchh kam hai
