aaj zindagi mein malal kyon hai

aaj zindagi mein malal kyon hai
kuch lamhoon ka udhaar kyon hai
main zinda hoon aaj bhi tee liye
bata phir fansala itna kyon hai

baat hui thi ankhoon mein kabhi
un ankhoon ko inteezar kyon hai
chupa kuch tha nahin beech apne
to bheege lab par sawal kyon hai

rishte ki us saaf si salaet par
aaj ek anjaana sa sawal kyon hai
char kadam saath chalne se bhi
bata unka ab yeh inkaar kyon hai

khatam ho gaya shayad sab kuch
to dikhaave ka libaas kyon hai
ajnaabi hain jab phir hum dono
phir unka yeh saath kyon hai

makaan to apna kabse ek hi hai
phir dillon mein daraar kyon hai
ek hi chaadar par leat kar bhi
woh bin kahi si deewar kyon hai

aaj zindagi mein malal kyon hai
