Kahin raaste par mili mujhe zindagi..

Kahin raaste par mili mujhe zindagi..
Main bhi zidd mein rahi ki nahi hi milungi..

Mujhe apne gham se fursat kahaan ki iski aur dekhun ..
Mehmaan-nawaazi ki bhi haqdaar nahi zindagi ..

Main apne chaand-taaron baadalon mein hi khush huun..
Mujhe nahi chaahiye ab ye daulat-e-zindagi..

Jaa ke padhe zaraa meri puraani diary ke panne..
Jab khwaab toot rahe they, tab kahaan thi zindagi..

Aaj bin mausam barsaat barasne aayi hai mujh par..
Jab aansuon se bheeg rahi thi main, tab kahaan thi zindagi..

Khud ke jee mein aaya tab milne aayi hai..
Abhi tak kahaan thi ye abhimaani zindagi..

Wo bhi waqt tha jab dost bhi duniya ho gaye..
Main pareshaan hairaan khadi thi, tab kahaan thi zindagi...

Maine marna seekh liyaa to jal bhun gayi hai..
Jab dard se pukaara tha, tab kahaan thi zindagi..

Beinteha tanhaaiyon mein akeli rahi hoon..
Tab nahi aayi to ab kyun aayi hai zindagi..

Main zidd mein huun ki nahi hi milungi..
Mujh se gale lipat ke rone aayi hai zindagi..
