zindgai zulm shi zbr shi gm hi shi
dil ki friyaad shi ruh kaa maatm hi shi
zindgai zulm shi ...hmne hr haal men jine ki ksm khaaee hai
ab yhi haal mukddr hai to shikvaa kyon ho
hm slike se nibhaa dengae jo din baaki hain
chaah rusvaa n huee drd bhi rusvaa kyon ho
zindgai zulm shi ...hmko tkdir se be-vjh shikaayt kyon ho
isi tkdir ne chaaht ki khushi bhi di thi
aaj agar kaanpti plkon ko diye hain aansu
kl thirkte hue honthon ko hnsi bhi di thi
zindgai zulm shi ...hm hain maayus mgar itne bhi maayus nhin
ek n ek din to yh ashkon ki ldi tutai
ek n ek din to chhtengae yh gmon ke baadl
ek n ek din ujaale ki kirn futai
zindgai zulm shi ...
