hum aadmi na hote to ghum ki kahaani na hoti

kaash duniya na hoti, zindagani na hoti,
hum aadmi na hote, to ghum ki kahaani na hoti,

woh to thoda sa dard seh gaye,
baki ki saza hum bhogat-te reh gaye,

kash adam ne hawa ki baat maani na hoti,
hum aadmi na hote to gham ki kahaani na hoti,

hum bhi aasmaan pe khel rahe hote,
yun na ghame duniya ke jhel rahe hote,

yeh bachpan, yeh budhapa aur jawani na hoti,
hum aadmi na hote, to gham ki kahaani na hoti.
