Zindagi dard ka zaam hai

Zindagi dard ka jaam hai peete rahiye
dukh mein bhi muskurakar jeete rahiye

Maut barhaq hai ise hum sab jante hain
esliye khuda ki ibadat karte rahiye

Gar shaok hai aapko fanaa hone ka
masjid-mandir ko aap ladte rahiye

goya aapko chakhna hai zafa ka maza
khudko ishq-e-jana mein giraftar karte rahiye

sachai ke rah per chalna mushkil hai magar
aap warha ye koshish karte rahiye

wo chahe raqeeb ho yaa ho rafeeq
har kisi ke liye duaa karte rahiye

naummeedi kufra hai jaan lo ae ‘sagar’
esliye khatt ka intezar karte rahiye
