zindagī ek kahānī ke sivā kuchh bhī nahīñ

log kirdār nibhāte hue mar jaate haiñ

zindagi ek kahani ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin

log kirdar nibhate hue mar jate hain

uThāo camera tasvīr khīñch lo in kī

udaas log kahāñ roz muskurāte haiñ

uThao camera taswir khinch lo in ki

udas log kahan roz muskuraate hain

jal ga.e phir se kuchh hasīñ rishte

tanziya guftugū kī bhaTTī meñ

jal gae phir se kuchh hasin rishte

tanziya guftugu ki bhaTTi mein

kam-umrī meñ sunet haiñ

mar jaate haiñ achchhe log

kam-umri mein sunet hain

mar jate hain achchhe log

miyāñ us shaḳhs se hoshiyār rahnā

sabhī se jhuk ke jo miltā bahut hai

miyan us shaKHs se hoshiyar rahna

sabhi se jhuk ke jo milta bahut hai
