jitna maKHaul aaj meri zindagi ko hai

jitnā maḳhaul aaj mirī zindagī ko hai

shāyad hī is zamāne meñ hotā kisī ko hai

aage kā kuchh patā nahīñ is vaqt to unheñ

itnī hai rasm-o-rāh ki hotī kisī ko hai

ham se to pūchhne kā sabab kuchh nahīñ to kyā

jitnā hai josh-e-vasl so utnā usī ko hai

duniyā bahut ajiib hai insāñ ko kyā kaheñ

hotā kisī kā aur vo rotā kisī ko hai

kitnā bhī saḳht-jān ho insān phir bhī dost

ghar chhūTne kā dard akhartā sabhī ko hai

jitna maKHaul aaj meri zindagi ko hai

shayad hi is zamane mein hota kisi ko hai

aage ka kuchh pata nahin is waqt to unhen

itni hai rasm-o-rah ki hoti kisi ko hai

hum se to puchhne ka sabab kuchh nahin to kya

jitna hai josh-e-wasl so utna usi ko hai

duniya bahut ajib hai insan ko kya kahen

hota kisi ka aur wo rota kisi ko hai

kitna bhi saKHt-jaan ho insan phir bhi dost

ghar chhuTne ka dard akharta sabhi ko hai
