Zindagi yun hui basar tanha
qafila sath aur safar tanha
apne saye se chaunk jate hain
umr guzri hai is qadar tanha
raat bhar bolate hain sannate
raat kate koi kidhar tanha
din guzarata nahi hai logon mein
raat hoti nahi basar tanha
hum ne daravaze tak to dekha tha
phir na jane gaye kidhar tanha

Gulzar
