Tum puchate ho ki zindagi ki keemat kya hain...

Chand sikkon mein bik jaata hain insaan yahaan

aur tum puchate ho ki mohabbat ki keemat kya hain...

***

Jab bhi chaha maali ne toodh liya daali se phool

aur tum puchate ho ki phoolon ki keemat kya hain...

***

Dard ho jab seene mein jhalak aate hi hain aankhon se aansoo

aur tum puchate ho ki aansoo ki keemat kya hain...

***

Unke intezaar mein kaati hain humne ro-ro kar raatein

aur tum puchate ho ki intezaar ki keemat kya hain...

***

Zindagi kab keh de alvida yeh humko maaloom nahi

aur tum puchate ho ki zindagi ki keemat kya hain...
