Dastaan-e-Zindagi tu bohot khamosh hai magar
Behtay ashkon ka shor sunana chahta hoon

Hai ujala bhi tu subh-e-kazib ki manind
Bas ek umeed zaroor dikhana chahta hoon

Mujh ko maloom hai manzil ki haqeeqat lekin
Parwana ban kr urh jana chahta hoon

Har chehra naqaab hai nafratoon kay ooper
Aur mein kiun kr un se mohabbatein le jana chahta hoon

Zindagi ka safar guzar janay per gumaan hua kay
Mein makhlooq-e-Qabar hoon magar dunya mein jeena chahta hoon
