zindagi ek aag hai wo aag jalna chahiye
zindagī ik aag hai vo aag jalnā chāhiye
be-hisī ik barf hai is ko pighalnā chāhiye
maut bhī hai zindagī aur maut se Darnā fuzūl
maut se āñkheñ milā kar muskurānā chāhiye
valvale tūfān-o-āñdhī barq-o-bārāñ zalzale
in na.e sāñchoñ meñ ham ko aaj Dhalnā chāhiye
bhuuk bekārī ke shikve un se karnā hai fuzūl
un ke aage taan kar siina nikalnā chāhiye
ne diyā hai aur na deñge ye masā.ib kā javāb
ab hameñ taqdīr apnī ḳhud badalnā chāhiye
ho galī kūche meñ charchā baat ye kaafī nahīñ
dushmanoñ ke paañv kī dhartī dahalnā chāhiye
zindagi ek aag hai wo aag jalna chahiye
be-hisi ek barf hai is ko pighalna chahiye
maut bhi hai zindagi aur maut se Darna fuzul
maut se aankhen mila kar muskurana chahiye
walwale tufan-o-andhi barq-o-baran zalzale
in nae sanchon mein hum ko aaj Dhalna chahiye
bhuk bekari ke shikwe un se karna hai fuzul
un ke aage tan kar sina nikalna chahiye
ne diya hai aur na denge ye masaib ka jawab
ab hamein taqdir apni KHud badalna chahiye
ho gali kuche mein charcha baat ye kafi nahin
dushmanon ke panw ki dharti dahalna chahiye
