zindagi ki kardwi sachhai

phir baithe hain akhele,

par mann mein shanti bhi samayi hai,
talash thi jis manzil ki,

aakhir kar wohi humne aaj payi hai.

phir bhi ek bechaini si

bhi hai dil ke kisi kone mein,
kya kush hoon main iss manzil se,

jo zindagi ne hume dikhayi hai?

kya badla hai akhir?

kuch bhi to nahi anth mein,

pehle bhi the akhele hum,

mili aaj bhi to hume tanhai hai. 

ankhon mein sapne lekar,

chal pade the apni manzil ki aur,
kya jana tha humne to sirf,

khwabon mein hi zindagi basayi hai. 

ek manzil hi nahi anth zindagi ke raston ka

ki chup chap baith gaye,
manzil se aage bhi chalna hota hai,

yehi zindagi ki kardwi sachhai hai.

chalo raaj agge ke aur bardo

apni zindagi ki raha mein,
bahare to mili nahi

bas charon aur veerani si chayi hai.
