Zindagi

Kagaz si ulfaton se bhari rangeen jawanio ki kahani kiya likhu 

Fursat k lamhon ke baigani se afwaahain kya likhu 

Guzre hue shab mein beetay huay lamho ki kahani kya likhu 

Uski baaton ki kahaniya kya likhu 

Agaaz se anjaam tak ka safar kia likhu 

Asmaa pe zamee ki chaadar kia likhu 

Do lafzo mein ki hue zindagi ki battain kia likhu 

Tu bata likhu to ab mein kya likhu

Tanhaaeya likhu ya betabiyan likhu

Arzuea likhu ya faryade likhu

Betaab dil ki kahaniyan bata kya kya likhu 

Afsano mein bayan karon ya aashar-e-falsafay kahon 

Tu bata mei haal-e-abraar ab kya likhu

Roz ba roz her roz ki faryad likhu 

Ya bus ek kahaani sar-e-bazar likhu

Atiah-e-muhabbat ik bar likhu 

Ya sari khataea ik bar likhu 

Zindagi Jo sochi wo likhu

Ya Zindagi Jo hum pe beeti wo likhu 

Tu bata ashiyanay meray kitni baar kis kis terha jalay wo likhu

Us k zakhmo ki rumani wajaien likhu 

Ya meherma na milne ki wajahain likhu 

Jo likhu to bus ilzam-e-ayan likhu
