Bada badnaseeb hoon,
Jo hume chchta hai; wohi chorr

Bas mohobat ki duniya main
thorra sa gareeb hoon,
Sach hai yaaroon; bada
badnaseeb hoon…
Lavson ka kadva teer mere
seene main chuboya jata hai,
Ab toh apni zindagi ko kabrastan
ki tarha veeran pata hoon,
Sone se pehle na uthne ki dua
mang jata hoon,
Sache dil se ab uss Rabb ke pas
laut jana chahta hoon,
Par kya karoun; maut se bhu
thukraya hi jata hoon,
Dil se kehta hu main ‘bada
