zindgi kaa diyaa .....bujhaa hi de.......

har dawaa...... dard ko .....badhaa hi de;
ab to .....ae dil!....... use ....bhulaa hi de.

lutne waale se..... yun...... gurez na kar;
kyaa khabar..... wo.... tujhe ....duaa hi de.

jiske chehre pe...... meri ......aankhein hain;
wo .....mujhe........ taan-e-kamnigaahi de.

ye bhi.... ek...... shewaa-e-rifaaqat hai;
jaane waalon ko......... raastaa hi de.

jaankani ke azaab ........se nikaloon;
aakhiri teer ....bhi..... chalaa hi de.

ab to ....jaise .....FARAAZ .....baad-e-muraad;
zindgi kaa diyaa .....bujhaa hi de.......
