Zameen bhi jo thee daldal thee

Asmaan bhi jo tha ghana tha

Chatt bhi jo thee kaagaz thee

Ashk bhi jo tha fanaa tha


Janme iss jahnum si nagri mein

Yaha rehna jo tha sazaa tha

Cheelo si fitrat ka har ik shaks 

Maasumiat noch khana sabka mazza tha


Bachpan he tha mera sab kuch tha

Maa ke aanchal ki jo panaah thee

Kya kuch mil gya aur khud ko kho diya

Kaamyaabi he jiski vajah thee


Sehma tha har dumm par haara nahi

Bas sehne ki ik jo kalaa thee

Aakhir haraya har uss tufaan ko

Na talne vali jo balaa thee


Kaise sawaaru har shaks ko

Duniya jahaan se mera gilaa tha

Aadat har sawaal ka jawaab dhundne ki

Dukh meri samajhdaari ka silaa tha


Koshish ki ik karvaan ke sang chalta 

Par shab-o-roz angaaro par akela chala tha

Koshish ki har dukh ki loh bhujata 

Par shab-o-roz angaaro par akela jalla tha
