Jo zindagi bachi hai use mat ganwaiye

Jo zindagi bachi hai use mat ganwaiye,
behtar hai ye ki aap mujhe bhool jaaiye,

har aan ik judaai hai, khud apne aap se, 
har aan ka hai zakhm, jo har aan khaiye,

thi mashwarat ki humko basaana hai ghar naya,
dil ne kaha ki mere dar-o-baam dhaaiye,

thooka hai maine khoon hamesha mazaaq men,
mera mazaaq aap hameshaa udaaiye,

ab koi bhi nahin hai, koi dil muhalle men,
kis kis gali men jaaiye, aur gul machaiye,

ik laal qilaa tha, jo miyaan zard padd gaya,
ab rangrez kaun se, kis jaa se laaiye,

jo haalaton ka daur tha, vo to guzar gaya,
dil ko jalaa chuke hain, so ab ghar jalaiye,

bas faailon ka bojh uthaya karen janaab,
misra ye "jaun" ka hai ise mat uthaaiye,
