zindagi wadi o sahra ka safar hai kyun hai
zindagī vaadī o sahrā kā safar hai kyuuñ hai
itnī vīrān mirī rāh-guzar hai kyuuñ hai
tū ujāle kī tarah aa ke lipaT jā mujh se
ik añdherā sā idhar aur udhar hai kyuuñ hai
roz miltā hai koī dil ko lubhāne vaalā
phir bhī tū hī mirā mahbūb-e-nazar hai kyuuñ hai
ghar kī tasvīr bhī sahrā kī tarah hai lekin
farq itnā hai ki dīvār hai dar hai kyuuñ hai
jis ko dekhūñ vahī barbād huā jaatā hai
aadmī kyā hai mohabbat kā khañDar hai kyuuñ hai
maiñ samundar huuñ magar pyaas hai qismat merī
mere dāman meñ agar 'ashk' guhar hai kyuuñ hai
zindagi wadi o sahra ka safar hai kyun hai
itni viran meri rah-guzar hai kyun hai
tu ujale ki tarah aa ke lipaT ja mujh se
ek andhera sa idhar aur udhar hai kyun hai
roz milta hai koi dil ko lubhane wala
phir bhi tu hi mera mahbub-e-nazar hai kyun hai
ghar ki taswir bhi sahra ki tarah hai lekin
farq itna hai ki diwar hai dar hai kyun hai
jis ko dekhun wahi barbaad hua jata hai
aadmi kya hai mohabbat ka khanDar hai kyun hai
main samundar hun magar pyas hai qismat meri
mere daman mein agar 'ashk' guhar hai kyun hai
