zindagi ki kitaab

yeh jo zindagi ki kitaab hai, yeh kitaab bhi kya kitaab hai,
kahi ek haseen sa khawaab hai, kahi jaan lewa yaad hai,

kahi chaaon hai kahi dhoop hai, kahi ek haseen sa roop hai,
kayi chehare iss mein chuppe huye, ek ajeeb si yeh nakab hai,

kahi kho diya kahi paa liya, kahi roo diya kahi gaa liya,
kahi chain leti hai zindagi, kahi haar baane be-misaal hai,

kahi ansoon ki hai dastaan, kahi muskurahaton ka bayaan hai,
kahi dukhon ki hai baarishein, kahi khushiyan be-misaal hai,

yeh jo zindagi ki kitaab hai, yeh kitaab bhi kya kitaab hai,
kahi ek haseen sa khawaab hai, kahi jaan lewa yaad hai.
