kaise kahein ki hum kaise jee rahein hain

ek ke baad ek musibat jhel rahe hain,
ek ho ke bhi tanha hum jee rahe hain,

kaun samjhe humare dil ka haal,
kaun jaane hum saans kaise le rahe hain,

juda ho ke to aadha jeevan kar liya apna,
bas us aadhe ko poora karne ki koshish kar rahe hain,

mushkilein hain jo kabhi daman nahi chordi humara,
kya kahein ki kis nate jheel rahe hain..

saath ho ke bhi saath nahi mera,
kaise kahe kaise unse door hum jee rahe hain,

kathinaaiyan aati hain kabhi darr ki shakal mein,
kaise batayein hum ki kaise saamna kar rahe hain,

saath jeene marne ki kasmein kha ke bhi saath nahi aaj,
kaise kahein hum kaise jee rahe hain,

bas marr rahe hain har pal har shaam,
unhein yaad kar kar bas khud ko koss rahe hain,

kaise kahein ki hum kaise jee rahein hain,
bas saansein chal rahi hain aur wakt kaat rahe hain..
