Din bhar muskuraya taake koi jaan na sake,
Dil toot bhi jaye to dikhai nahi deta.

Faasle badh gaye, raaste alag ho gaye,
Dil ab bhi wahi khada hai jahan tum chhod gaye.

Kismat ne jo likha tha, wahi mila mujhe,
Mehnat karta raha — mukaddar ne saath na diya.

Baarish janti hai jo main keh nahi sakta,
Woh mere liye barasti hai badal wale din.

Aaj hans diya, dard phir bhi paas tha,
Kuch muskurahatein sirf dikhawa hoti hain.
