apna jahan mein rahna hai yaadgar rahna
apnā jahāñ meñ rahnā hai yādgār rahnā
mushkil thā apne ghar meñ begāna-vār rahnā
ai maut rahm kar ab ye koī zindagī hai
nazroñ se apnī gir kar duniyā pe baar rahnā
rañgīniyoñ ne kis kī sikhlā diyā hai gul ko
jab tak chaman meñ rahnā ban kar bahār rahnā
hastī ke qāfile ko us rāhzan ne luuTā
kahtā thā raah bhar jo haañ hoshiyār rahnā
'beḳhud' kī zindagī kī ye bhī koī tarh thī
be-iḳhtiyār aanā be-iḳhtiyār rahnā
apna jahan mein rahna hai yaadgar rahna
mushkil tha apne ghar mein begana-war rahna
ai maut rahm kar ab ye koi zindagi hai
nazron se apni gir kar duniya pe bar rahna
ranginiyon ne kis ki sikhla diya hai gul ko
jab tak chaman mein rahna ban kar bahaar rahna
hasti ke qafile ko us rahzan ne luTa
kahta tha rah bhar jo han hoshiyar rahna
'beKHud' ki zindagi ki ye bhi koi tarh thi
be-iKHtiyar aana be-iKHtiyar rahna
