[wlm] Duniya ke ai musafir Manzil teri qabar hai Tai kar raha hai jo too Do din ka yeh safar hai Duniya bani hai jab se Laakhon karoodon aaye Baaqi raha na koi Mitti me sab samaaye Is baat ko na bhoolo Sab ka yehi hashar hai Duniya ke ai musaafir Manzil teri qabar hai Maqmal pe soone waale Mitti me so rahe hain Shaaho gadaa yahan per Sab ek ho rahe hain Yahi mout ka asar hai Duniya ke ai musaafir Manzil teri qabar hai Aankhon se toone kitne janaaze dekhe Haathon se toone apne dafnaae kitne murde Anjaam se phir apne Kyoun itna bekhabar hai Duniya ke ai musaafir Manzil teri qabar hai Mitti ke putle tujhko mitti me hai samaana Ek roz hai tu aaya ek din hai tujhko jaana Rehna nahin hai tujhko Jaari tera safar hai Duniya ke ai musaafir Manzil teri qabar hai Ye oonche oonche mahlein Kuch kaam ke nahin hai Ye aalishan banglen Kuch kaam ke nahin hai Do gaz zameen ka tukda Chota sa tera ghar hai Duniya ke ai musaafir Manzil teri qabar hai |
