yek andheraa laakh sitaare, yek niraashaa laakh sahaare
sabase badee saugaat hain jeewan naadaan hain jo jeewan se haare

duniyaa kee ye bagiyaa ayesee jitane kaante, fool bhee utane
daaman mein khud aa jaayenge, jinakee taraf too haath pasaare

beete huye kal kee khaatir, too aanewaalaa kal mat khonaa
jaane kaun kahaa se aa kar, raahe teree fir se sawaare

dukh se agar pahachaan n ho to kaisaa sukh kaisee khushiyaan
tufaano se ladakar hee to lagate hain saahil itane pyaare
