hai zindagi hum se bezaar kyu
hai mushkille itni dushwaar kyu

hai karna paar yeh lamba safar
hai maut ka fir yeh intezaar kyu

chaayi naa ummeedee har taraf
hai khudha pe fir bhi i'tbaar kyu

rukti khushiya aate aate
yeh hota hai aisa har baar kyu

hai maa ka darjaa sabse oonchaa
hai mumtaa fir itni laa chaar kyu

kehte hai duniya humari
fir duniya ko hum inkaar kyu

hai koi 'anamika' gham-gusaar
iss sapne mein hum giriftaar kyu.
