Zindagi

jab afsaana-e-hastii sochta hoon,
toh lagta hai.
kitni hi alag alag zindagiyan ji raha hoon main.

ek zindagi tere gam ke naam jita hoon.
ek zindagi use bhulaane ki.

khwahishon ki ek umr leta hoon.
aur unko poora karne ki jaddojahat ek zindagi.

ek zindagi apni hi jita main.
aur ek har apne ki.

pyaar ki ek zindagi, awaargi ki ek zindagi.
zindagi mazhab ki, baghawat ki ek zindagi.

kissi ke mann mein sukoon,
kissi ke mann mein badnaam ek zindagi.

jita hoon kabhi zunoon ki.
kabhi bas naam ki hi zindagi.

zindagi guzarenge kaise

har pal ke baad
ek khaali aah si nikalti hai,
har shaam ke baad
khushi din guzar jaane ki rehti hai.

khush hoon ya nahin hoon main
kashmakash main sama rehta hai,
jo ho raha hai, ho
guzarti hawa main din behta hai.

rago main bezaar,
behta rehta hai lahu jaise,
saanse bemaksad,
leta rehta hoon main waise.

Ek lamha jo guzar jata hai,
fir sochta hoon kuch aur guzarunga kaise.
chand palon ki baat hoti toh theek tha.
sochta hoon
zindagi guzarunga kaise.
