Ye raz hai meri zindagi ka
pahane huye hun kafan khudi ka
phir nashtar-e-gam se chedate hain
ik tarz hai ye bhi dil dahi ka
o lafz-o-bayan mein chupane wale
ab qasd hai aur khamoshi ka
marana to hai ibtada ke ik baat
jina hai kamal muntahi ka
han sina gulon ke tarah kar chak
de mar ke sabut zindagi ka
pahane huye hun kafan khudi ka
phir nashtar-e-gam se chedate hain
ik tarz hai ye bhi dil dahi ka
o lafz-o-bayan mein chupane wale
ab qasd hai aur khamoshi ka
marana to hai ibtada ke ik baat
jina hai kamal muntahi ka
han sina gulon ke tarah kar chak
de mar ke sabut zindagi ka
