Maut Ki Samt Jaan Chalti Rahi

maut ki samt jaan chalti rahi

zindagi ki dukan chalti rahi

sare kirdar so gae thak kar

bas teri dastan chalti rahi

main larazta raha hadaf ban kar

mashq-e-tir-e-kaman chalti rahi

ulTi sidhi charagh sunte rahe

aur hawa ki zaban chalti rahi

do hi mausam the dhup ya barish

chhatriyon ki dukan chalti rahi

jism lambe the chadaren chhoTi

raat bhar khinch-tan chalti rahi

par nikalte rahe bikharte rahe

unchi nichi uDan chalti rahi
