Zindagani Jawedani Bhi Nahin

zindagani jawedani bhi nahin

lekin is ka koi sani bhi nahin

hai sawa-neze pe suraj ka alam

tere gham ki saebani bhi nahin

manzilen hi manzilen hain har taraf

raste ki ek nishani bhi nahin

aaine ki aankh mein ab ke baras

koi aks-e-mehrbani bhi nahin

aankh bhi apni sarab-alud hai

aur is dariya mein pani bhi nahin

juz tahayyur gard-baad-e-zist mein

koi manzar ghair-fani bhi nahin

dard ko dilkash banaen kis tarah

dastan-e-gham kahani bhi nahin

yun luTa hai gulshan-e-wahm-o-guman

koi KHar-e-bad-gumani bhi nahin
