haathon se ret ki tarah choot jaati hain khushiyaan

dhoondhta hoon to milti nahi hain khushiyaan,
zindagi mein khawab si lagti hain khushiyaan,

gum ne is kadar mujh par ghera daala hai,
koi bhi mausam ho, aati nahi hain khushiyaan,

tum daaman jo apna humse churdakar chale gaye,
bhatakta hoon dar badar, milti nahi hain khushiyaan,

koi hoga jo mere halaat se ittefahh rakhta hoga,
dekhta hoon to har taraf dikhti hain khushiyaan,

kya shikwa gila karein aye khuda zindagi se,
haathon se ret ki tarah choot jaati hain khushiyaan.
