Zindagi bhi kuch aise khayal mein gujri,
Jaise shab-e-furqat kisy malal mein gujri.
Jisme ishq, ho jaata hai bewajah,
Wo umr to abhi haal mein gujri.
Kyonkar haseen sapne, dekh leti hain aankhen,
Haqiqat to aksar, kisy sawal mein gujri.
Tanhaiyon ki umar bhi kitny ajeeb hai,
Roz-o-shab bus ek hee haal mein gujri
