Aaj bichhade hain
Kal kaa dar bhi nahi
Zindagi itani
Mukhtasar bhi nahi
Aaj bichhade hain...

Zakhm dikhte nahin abhi, lekin
Thhande honge to dard niklegaa
Taesh utregaa, waqt kaa jab bhi
Cheheraa andar se zard niklegaa
Aaj bichhade hain
Kal kaa dar bhi nahi
Zindagi itani
Mukhtasar bhi nahi
Aaj bichhade hain...

Kehne waalon kaa kuchh nahin jaata
Sehne waale kamaal karte hain
Kaun dhoondhe jawaab dardon ke
Log to bas sawaal karate hain
Aaj bichhade hain
Kal kaa dar bhi nahi
Zindagi itani
Mukhtasar bhi nahi
Aaj bichhade hain...

Kal jo aayegaa jaane kya hoga
Beet jaaye jo, kal nahi aate
Waqt ki shaakh todne waalo
Tooti shaakhon pe phall nahi aate
Aaj bichhade hain
Kal kaa dar bhi nahi
Zindagi itani
Mukhtasar bhi nahi
Aaj bichhade hain...

Kachchi mitti hain dil bhi, insaan bhi
Dekhne hee mein sakht lagtaa hain
Aansoo ponchhe aansuon ke nishaan
Khushq hone mein waqt lagtaa hain
Aaj bichhade hain
Kal kaa dar bhi nahi
Zindagi itani
Mukhtasar bhi nahi
Aaj bichhade hain.
