Kuch ajeeb hai ye zindagi...

Kuch ajeeb hai ye zindagi

Kuch ajeeb hai iski baatein

Kahi hai khushnuma si hawaayein

Kahi hai gehri andhero si raatein

Kahi koi baarish ki rimjhim se khush ho raha

Kahi kisaan iss barsaat me jallosh mana raha

Kahi koi door unhi boondon me aansu chipa raha

Kitne asaani se gam ghul jaate hai boondon me soch raha

Kahi koi suraj ki kirano ko naman kar raha

Shraddha se dhanyawad bolkar apne haath jod raha

Kahi koi door registan ki jalti dhoop me tadap raha

Kab sham le aayegi rahat itni garmi ko hara kar ye soch raha

Kahi koi baccha jaanleva thandi mein thithoor raha

Kahi ghar nahi hai uska, apne aap me hi who simat raha

Kahi koi door apne ghar mein baith thoda jashn mana raha

Sardi ki sham ka anand sab ke saath apne andaaz me utha raha

Kahi koi sipaahi jaan lagakar sarhad par lad raha

Apne matrubhumi ki suraksha pure atma bhaan se kar raha

Kahi koi kisaan usi sima par sone sa dhaanya uga raha

Annadata ko pranam kar apna kartavya nishta se kar raha

Kahi koi navjaat shishu apni aakhen khol raha

Apni nayi duniya me pehli saansein dheere se le raha

Kahi koi anjaan ab kabhi naa uthne ke liye aaj so raha

Usse kya pata wo dusre jahan me jaane ke liye tayaar ho raha

Kahi ek beta apni maa se milne uske gao jaa raha

Bahut se taufe aur dher saara pyaar bhi saath lekar jaa raha

Kahi ek beta apne beemar budhi maa ki seva kar raha

Aaj ki shyam dhalte dekhegi ya nahi maa yun woh ghabra raha

Kahi ek naujavan kai saalon ke baad ghar laut raha

Bade bade desho me naam roshan kar ke  swades laut raha

Kahi ek pita ganga mein nahane ke baad khud makan laut raha

Apghat me gujre bête-bahu ki asthiyan bahane ke baad ghar laut raha

Kahi koi apni aane wali maut se jhoojh raha

Thode aur pal apne pyar se milne ke liye maang raha

Kahi koi akela vruddh karkrog me asahay sa tadap raha

Le chal mujhe itni taklif se door aisi maut se prarthna kar raha

Kuch ajeeb hai ye zindagi

Kuch ajeeb hai iski baatein

Kahi hai khushnuma si hawaayein

Kahi hai gehri andhero si raatein
