kabhi teri kabhi apni hayat ka gham hai
kabhī tirī kabhī apnī hayāt kā ġham hai
har ek rañg meñ nākāmiyoñ kā mātam hai
ḳhayāl thā tire pahlū meñ kuchh sukūñ hogā
magar yahāñ bhī vahī iztirāb paiham hai
mire mazāq-e-alam-āshnā kā kyā hogā
tirī nigāh meñ sho.ale haiñ ab na shabnam hai
sahar se rishta-e-ummīd bāñdhne vaale
charāġh-e-zīst kī lau shaam hī se maddham hai
ye kis maqām pe le aa.ī zindagī 'rāhī'
ki har qadam pe ajab bebasī kā aalam hai
kabhi teri kabhi apni hayat ka gham hai
har ek rang mein nakaamiyon ka matam hai
KHayal tha tere pahlu mein kuchh sukun hoga
magar yahan bhi wahi iztirab paiham hai
mere mazaq-e-alam-ashna ka kya hoga
teri nigah mein shoale hain ab na shabnam hai
sahar se rishta-e-ummid bandhne wale
charagh-e-zist ki lau sham hi se maddham hai
ye kis maqam pe le aai zindagi 'rahi'
ki har qadam pe ajab bebasi ka aalam hai
