faisle ki ghadi haiya shaayad nahin
tumko ye pata nahin
faasle zaroor tai kar lena

faisla gar lena ho
to hausla rakhna
chaahe uske baad dil pe
koi pathar rakh lena

hayaat e shareek
hone ka alag nasha hai

kuch ehsaas tum phir bhi
palkon ke saath baandh lena

aye dost ye waqt bhi guzarega
sahar phir se hogi
is ghadi mein tum phir uski
yaad ka daaman thaam lena

wo bhi tadapta hoga
kuch chubhan usko bhi hogi

is dard ke ehsaas ko bhi
saath hee baant lena

zindagi ke aayaam
kayi aur bhi hain
un lamhon ko bhi kabhi
fursat se dhoondh lena

dost milenge kayi tumko
manzilen aur bhi aayengi
kuch pal mere sahaare chalna

kuch meri dua bhi le lena

thoda samajh lena
thoda samjha dena
kuch dard pee lena
kuch gairon se baant lena

dost ban ke milte hain kayi
kabhi mujhko aazma lena
khuda ka ghar hai ye inaayat hai
dosti ko pehchaan lena

kehte hain log ki dard ki
dawa bhi wahi deta hai
mere kandhe par kabhi
do aansoo baha lena

kuch marham wo dega
koi nayi muskaan bhi dekha
is hayaat ke nazaare kayi
thoda tum muskura lena

faisle ki ghadi hai dost
faisla to aasaan nahin
zindagi aasaan ho teri
aisi koshish kar lena
