Kabhi Kabhi Kitna Nuqsan UThana PaDta Hai

kabhi kabhi kitna nuqsan uThana paDta hai

airon ghairon ka ehsan uThana paDta hai

TeDhe-meDhe raston par bhi KHwabon ka pashtara

teri KHatir meri jaan uThana paDta hai

kab sunta hai nala koi shor-sharabe mein

majburi mein bhi tufan uThana paDta hai

kaisi hawaen chalne lagi hain mere baghon mein

phulon ko bhi ab saman uThana paDta hai

gul-daste ki KHwahish rakhne walon ko aksar

koi KHar bhara gul-dan uThana paDta hai

yan koi tafriq nahin hai shah gada sab ko

apna bojh dil-e-nadan uThana paDta hai

yun mayus nahin hote hain koi na koi gham

achchhe achchhon ko har aan uThana paDta hai

makkaron ki is duniya mein kabhi kabhi 'alam'

achchhe logon ko bohtan uThana paDta hai
