kya yahi zindagi hai

har saks paresaan hai,
har chehre pe udasi hai,
har aankh mein aashu hai,
har aatma pyaasi hai.
ke har chehre pe chehra hai, 

har hasrat pe pehra hai,
kya yahi zindgi hai??

yahan dil mein kuch hai,
aur juban pe kuch hai,
ki peeth mein khanjar
kyu bhokne ka daur hai,

kya mar gayi insaniyat
ya badli hai neeyat,
ki bas sochna apne baare mein,
sirf apne bare mein...
kya yahi zindgi hai??

pyar ke badle dhoka,
har kisi ko chahiye bas mouka,
paise ka khel, gareebo ko tardpana,

yeh badle badle se insaan,
yeh patther sa dil,
yeh dhoka.. yeh nafrat.. yeh lardai.. yeh siyast,
kya yahi zindgi hai??
