risti rahi

risti rahi zindagi aankhon se,

ki ab khokhla ho gaya hoon mai,

kabhi josh-e-walwale thae,

ki ab past-e-hosla ho gaya hoon mai,

lagta tha zamin mil gayi,

bas hi jaunga,

ki ab tinkon bikhra hua ghosla ho gaya hoon mai,

jane kya kya hona chaha tha,

ho sakta tha,

ki ab na jane kya ya mere maula ho gaya hoon mai
