Zinda

Zindagi zindadilli ka naam hai,
Par yehaan zinda kaun hai?

Log to aise doobe hain gham me,
Ki maut bhi sharminda hai.

Kho gayi bachpan, kho gaya rooh,
Saansen to chalti hai, fakhat ehsaas hai.

Zhakhmi dil hai, dhadakne se darta hai,
ghaw purane hai, bharne se darte hain.

Maut aakhri hai, haqeeqat bhi, manzil bhi,
Jaan'ta kaun nahi, par maanta kaun hai?

Ummeed to rehti nahi kafn ki,
Lekin daud me koi kami nahi hai.

Rishte toot'te hain, rishte ban'te hain,
Aadmi chalte rehta hai, rukta kaun hai.
