bahut chhoTā safar hai zindagī kā
muqaddar sham' kī hai raushnī kā
sabhī dil toḌ deñge dekh lenā
jhamelā paal rakkhe ho sadī kā
ḳhushī meñ bhī chhupā hotā hai mātam
liyā hai lutf kis ne har ḳhushī kā
nahīñ ghaTtī mohabbat bāñTne se
karoge kyā juTā kar dushmanī kā
rahegā chāñd jab tak āsmāñ meñ
tabhī manzar dikhegā chāñdnī kā
siyāsatdānoñ meñ kursī kī ḳhātir
nasha chaḌhne lagā hai bandagī kā
vafā kī raah meñ bhī aaj 'naurang'
bharosa kar nahīñ sakte kisī kā
bahut chhoTa safar hai zindagi ka
muqaddar sham' ki hai raushni ka
sabhi dil toD denge dekh lena
jhamela pal rakkhe ho sadi ka
KHushi mein bhi chhupa hota hai matam
liya hai lutf kis ne har KHushi ka
nahin ghaTti mohabbat banTne se
karoge kya juTa kar dushmani ka
rahega chand jab tak aasman mein
tabhi manzar dikhega chandni ka
siyasatdanon mein kursi ki KHatir
nasha chaDhne laga hai bandagi ka
wafa ki rah mein bhi aaj 'naurang'
bharosa kar nahin sakte kisi ka
