aye zindagi, aaj main tujhse kya kahun,
jo lamha milta hai, us mein tu tham jaati hai,
kabhi shola ban ke cheeerr jaati hai,
kabhi tej hawa ke jhoke se sab le jaati hai,
kabhi nadi ki dhaara ki tarah beh jaati hai...

{Is hee zindagi se kitna lagaav hai mujhe,
haste hua bacha, khilta hua gulab,
yeh sab bhi tu dikhati hai zindagi,
pal bhar ki khushiya deti hai zindagi,
phir kahin duba jaati hai zindagi...}

aye zindagi,
paheli bani rehna,
aur kabhi kabhi tujhe samajhne ka mauka bhi deti rehna.
