suna tha khoobsurat hai ye dunia,
paane ki hasrat bhi bahot thhi,
paaya to kya paya hamne,
waadiyo jitne dukh aur nadiyo jitne aasoo,
ab to us dunia ki tamanna karna b baimaan si lagti hai,
jis dunia ke hamne sapne piroye thhe.
Kaagaz ki kashti mai sapne bhi doob gaye,
saagar tak na pahunche, mere armaan bhi doob gaye,
woh khoob gaye aise mere jeevan se,
k untak pahunchne ke raaste bhi doob gaye
jo khoobsurat thi dunia, woh paani mai doob gayi,
tere sang woh dunia, ab kahani mai doob gayi,
hame bhanwar mai chhod,
tumko kinaare mil gaye,
aur meri nazmo ki dunia ,
tere jhoote dilaaso mai doob gayi.
