Zindagi say Dartay ho

zindagii se Darate ho
zindagii to tum bhii ho, zindagii to ham bhii hain.
aadamii se Darate ho
aadamii to tum bhii ho aadamii to ham bhii hain.
aadamii zubaan bhii hai, aadamii bayaan bhii hai
is se tum nahiin Darate
harf aur maanii ke rishte haaye aahan se aadamii hai vaabastaa
aadamii ke daaman se zindagii hai vaabastaa
is se tum nahiin Darate
ankahii se Darate ho
jo abhii aa_ii nahiin us ghaDii se Darate ho
us ghaDii ke aane kii aag hii se Darate hi
pahale bhii to guzare hain
daur naarasaa_ii ke, beriyaa, Khudaa_ii ke
phir bhii ye samajhate ho, hech aazaruumandii
ye shab zubaaNbandii, hai rahe Khudaabandii
tum yahii samajhate ho, tum magar ye kyaa jaano
lab agar nahiin hilate haath jaag uThate hain
haath jaag uThate hain raah kaa nishaan ban kar
nuur kii zubaaN ban kar
haath bol uThate hain subah kii azaaN ban kar
roshanii se Darate ho
roshanii to tum bhii ho, roshanii to ham bhii hain
roshanii se Darate ho
shahar kii fasiilon par
dev kaa jo saayaa thaa, paak ho gayaa aaKhir
az_dahaam-e-afsaan se fard kii navaa aa_ii
zaat kii sadaa aa_ii
raah-e-shauq men jaise raah_ravii KhuuN lapake
ik nayaa junuun lapake
aadamii chhalak uThe
aadamii hanse dekho, shahar phir base dekho
tum abhii se Darate ho
haan abhii to tum bhii ho, haan abhii to ham bhii hain
tum abhii se Darate ho
