Kyu aata nahi

Kyu aata nahi wasook se zindagi jine ka sahi tareeka,

Zindagi bhar seekh kr bhi kyu aata nahi jine ka sahi tareeka..
 

Kyu aata nahi hume zindagi ke lamho ko jina,

Man fasa lete hai kahi bhi hasrat ke bina..
Kyu lafzo me khaid ho jate hai alfaaz,
Aur ban jate hai gehre raaz..
 

Kyu chahte hai hum zindagi ke lamho me rehna,

Faste jate hai lamho ke lamho me rozana..

Yeh jaan kr bhi ki jine ke hai pure saat faraaz,

Ruk jate hai kadam ek hi iqdaam pe daraaz..
 

Kya yahi hai zindagi jaha dard bhare aansuo ko pina,

Ya khushi se dusro ke dard ko hai sina..

Yu to bahot mushkil se hai zindagi ke ajeeb saaz,

Par hawa kabhi sikha jati hai zindagi ke ajeeb raaz..
