Zindagi kyaa cheez hai

surkh hothon ki woh laali, zulfon kaa jaadu tumhaare
dekh kar ke hum samajh gaye, dillagi kyaa cheez hai
jheel si aankhein tumhaari, doob hi jaayen naa hum
dekhaa unhe jo gaur se to jaanaa tishnagi kyaa cheez hai


bikhre huwe the lafz saare, khud ba khud hi jud gaye
dekhaa tumhe to jaan gaye ki shaayari kyaa cheez hai
zindagi ko itne kareeb se, dekhaa kahaan thaa kabhi
dekhaa tumhe to jaan gaye ki zindagi kyaa cheez hai


zulfon mein chehraa chhipaake muskuraake chal diye
seekhey koi tumse aakar ki jaadugari kyaa cheez hai
aksar log kehte hain humein ki rog kaunsaa hai yeh
ishq karte to samajhte ki aashiqui kyaa cheez hai
