ye kya zindagi hai, ye kaisa jaha hai
ye kya zindagi hai, ye kaisa jaha hai
jidhar dekhiye zulm ki dasta hai
ye kya zindagi hai, ye kaisa jaha hai
kahi hai kaphas me kisi ka basera
kahi hai nigaho me gam ka andhera
kahi dil ka lutata huya karawa hai
jidhar dekhiye zulm ki dasta hai
ye kya zindagi hai, ye kaisa jaha hai
yaha aadami aadami ka hai dushman
yaha chak inasaniyat ka hai daman
mohabbat ka ujada huya aashiya hai
jidhar dekhiye zulm ki dasta hai
ye kya zindagi hai, ye kaisa jaha hai
ye beraham duniya samajh me na aaye
yaha kar rahe hai sitamagar khudayi
na jane tu aye duniya wale kaha hai
jidhar dekhiye zulm ki dasta hai
ye kya zindagi hai, ye kaisa jaha hai
