kyu ye zindagi jeene se darti hai bahut

jaane kyu aajkal tumhari kammi aakhirti hai bahut,
yaadon ke band kamaro me zindagi sisakti hai bahut,

pannah to nahi deta kabhi be-dard ki uss khawaish ko,
mehsus jo tumhein kerne ki koshish kerta hai bahut,

daawe kerti hai zindagi jo har din tujhe bhulaane ki,
kisi ne kisi bahane se yaad tujhe kerta hai bahut,

aahat se bhi chaukk jaaye, 

muskurane se bhi kaatraaye,
maalum nahi kyu ye zindagi jeene se darti hai bahut..
