Zindagi..

Guzri hui zindagi ko kabhi yaad na kar,
Taqdir me jo nahi likha, uski fariyaad na kar!

Jo hoga wo hokar rahega,
Tu kal ki fikar mein, apni aaj ki hasi barbad na kar!

Palkon mein kaid rehne na de sapno ko,
Unhe to haqiqat main badalna hai.

Zindagi me jeena nahi, jeene ka andaz zaruri hai,
Seene mein lakh ghum sahi, chehre pe muskan zaruri hai!

Hans marte hue bhi gaata hai,
Aur mor naachte hue bhi rota hai,

Zindagi kabhi dhoop hai toh kabhi chaav,

Ye zindagi ka usool hai,
Dukho wali raat neend nahi aati,

Aur…
Khushi wali raat,
Kaun sota hai!
