KHUD SE KHUD HI KAID THA
 HAR PANNA ZINDAGI KA SAFED THA
 
 KAHANIYA SUNAI DEEWARON KO
 KHUD ME DHUNDHA HAZAARON KO
 KHAMOSH AAHAT KI CHAH ME
 BUJHA GAYE HAR CHIRAAGON KO
 
 KHUD SE KHUD HI KAID THA
 HAR PANNA ZINDAGI KA SAFED THA
 
 AANSU NA GIRTE AANKHON SE
 KHUSHI NA MILTI CHAHON SE
 AGLE KADAM KI AAAS ME
 KAANTEIN NA HATTE RAAHON SE
 
 KHUD SE KHUD HI KAID THA
 HAR PANNA ZINDAGI KA SAFED THA.
 
 SAPNE JO MERE HAZAAR THE
 KAANDHA DENE KO NA CHAAR THE
 KHUD TOH HUM KHUDA THE YUIN
 AURO KE LIYE BAS BEKAAR THE
 
 KHUD SE KHUD HI KAID THA,
 HAR PANNA ZINDAGI KA SAFED THA.
 
 NAA JAANE KAISA ROG THA
 LAGTA HAI KOI DHONG THA
 SAMAJH BUJH KE KUCH NA KIA
 JO BHI THA SANJOG THA
 
 KHUD SE KHUD HI KAID THA
 HAR PANNA ZINDAGI KA SAFED THA
 
 ADHURI KAALI RAAT THI
 ADHURI KHALI BAAT THI
 RAASTON KI THOKAR THI YA
 JEEVAN KI KOI SAUGAAT THI
 
 KHUD SE KHUD HI KAID THA
 HAR PANNA ZINDAGI KA SAFED THA
 
 JEEVAN KI KHUSHIYAN JHOOTH SE
 LO CHAL DIA KOI RUTH KE
 MADMAST THA JO MAUJ ME
 PYAR KARTA THA WOH TUT KE.
 
 KHUD SE KHUD HI KAID THA
 HAR PANNA ZINDAGI KA SAFED THA
 
 KAISE MAIN DEKHU GAUR SE
 NA SILTE YE JAKHM DOR SE
 AWAAZ GUM HO GAYI AB
 MAUN HUIN MAIN ISS SHOR ME
 
 KHUD SE KHUD HI KAID THA
 HAR PANNA ZINDAGI KA SAFED THA
 
 SISKA THA KAL WOH RAAT ME
 SUBA JIKR NA USKI BAAT ME
 TAALIYON KI GUNJ BADH GAYI
 JO HATH NA USKE HATH ME
 
 KHUD SE KHUD HI KAID THA
 HAR PANNA ZINDAGI KA SAFED THA
 
 BHEED KA EK HISSA HE TU
 KHUSHIYON KA KHOYA BAKSA HE TU
 SUN KE UNSUNA REH GAYA
 WOH ADHOORA KISSA HE TU
 
 KHUD SE KHUD HI KAID THA
 HAR PANNA ZINDAGI KA SAFED THA
 
 CHAL UTH AB KHUD KI TALAASH KAR
 JEETE JEE AB NA LAASH BAN
 SUN SABKI KAR KHUDKI
 APNE LIYE AB KHAAS BAN….
