zindagi bas zindagi itni banani rah gai
ban gae kirdar sare bas kahani rah gai
chhoD kar tahzib jab bas bad-zabani rah gai
to kaho kis kaam ki phir naujawani rah gai
'aql daulat dosti sab lapata sa ho gaya
'ishq mein ab mahz meri jaan jaani rah gai
titliyan haqdar gulshan ke sabhi phulon ki thin
jugnuon ki qismaton mein raat-rani rah gai
wo buzurgon ki batai to kahin milti nahin
ab dukhon ko jhelti hi bas jawani rah gai
