Zindagi lamha ba lamha kharch wo karte rahe

Kuchh naya jeene ki dhun men umr bhar marte rahe

Bas faqat jeete rahe, jeene ka maqsad bhool kar

Hosh jab aaya to jane be sabab tha ye safar

Jab chale the hamsafar muththi men kuchh khushiyan bhi thin

Raaste ki uljhanon men wo bhi unse gir gayin

Jaane kis manzil ke peechhe betahasha(bina soche)chal diye

Ye bhi na socha bhala, ye bekhudi kiske liye

Wo bahut masroof  the, mashhoor the, maghroor the, 

Par khushi ke des jaati har dagar se door the

Khoob se bas khoobtar(best) ki daud men bhaga kiye

Sath men jo log the, raste men wo bhi chhut gaye

Thak ke jab peechhe mude to, door tak koi na tha

Saamne manzil na thi, peechhe na koi raasta

Apne kadmon ke nishan, palte to dhoondhe na mile

Itne aage aa gaye the, kho ke saare raste

Jab ye socha unko is jaddo-jahad(mehnat)se kya mila

Ye to tab jaane ki unse waqt sab zaaya(waste) hua

Saath thi bas bekasi-o-bebasi,  bechargi

Har taraf phaili hui, tanhaiyon ki teergi (andhere)

Hai 'hina' is daur men sab ki kahani bas yahi

Waqt ki raftaar men khone lagi hai zindagi
