Uski mujhko yaad dilati hai zindagi

Ase bhi kai rang dikhati hai zindagi,
Phir uski mujhko yaad dilati hai zindagi,

Sham o shahar sukoon ki chahat liye huae,
Thak haar ke mere hi paas aati hai zindagi,

Badla meri wafaon ka mujhko nahi mila,
Kyun baar baar ye sawal uthati hai zindagi,

Kyun mere haq mai koi bhi karta nahi dua,
Ro roke mot ko gale lagati hai zindagi,

Ae shamsh apna haal e dil khahena fuzool hai,
Kab umar bhar ka saath nibhati hai zindagi.
