Tang aa chuke hain kashmakash-e-zindagi se hum..

Tang aa chuke hain kashmakash-e-zindagi se hum,
Thukraa na dain jahaan ko kahin be-dili se hum,

Mayuusi-e-maal-e-mohabbat na puuchiye,
Apnon se paish aaye hain begaaangi se hum,

Lo aaj hum ne torr diya rishta-e-umeed,
Lo ab kabhi gila na karenge kisi se hum,

Ubhren ge ek baar abhi dil ke valvale,
Go dabb gaye hain baar-e-gham-e-zindagi se hum,

Gar zindagi mein mil gaye phir ittifaaq se,
Puuchen ge apnaa haal teri bebassi se hum,

Allah re faraib-e-mashiyat ki aaj tak,
Duniyaa ke zulm sehte rahe khamoshi se hum..
