ek roz ka tamasha

ek roz ka tamasha
jeevan ki har khushi hai
har saans aati jaati
kyon bojh si bani hai

kya yehi zindagi hai
jazbaat vo kahan hain
behaki theen aarzuyen
halaath vo kahan hain

tu bhi mujh se nalaan
mujh may na dhal saka
kyon husn-o-ishq zindagi ka
mujh ko na mil saka

jazba jahad ka
kahaan jaa kay so gaya
junoon faislon ka
kyon ek lakht kho gaya

is deewangi ko yaaro
tum koi naam de do
tishna kaavishon ko
"chaand"ka pyaam de do
