zindagi se zindagi ka safar

armaano main dafn hua dam nikla

phir bhi hasi thi labon par

ki mera zanaza jo nikla, khoob nikla

hum toh parwane hain humari hasti kya

lau jale jal jaana lau bhujhe bujh jana

ghalib tere sher o shahar ke

alag alag andaz

ek sunne wah wah kahe

duja nikal aah

o re panchi tujhe ghonsle se itna pyar kyu hain

apne hi dayaron main qaid mann, itna daagdar kyu hain
