Dikhte hain mujhko vo saye

Jo baste hain logo ke andar

Sunayi hain deti unsabki vo baateinJo daba le jaate hain dil ke hee andar

Tinke uthata hu toote makano ke

Fir mai tham jaata hu unki deewaro pe

Sar fir ghumakar mai padhta hu lafzo ko likhte jo log

Ankahi baato se andekhe raazo se Roothe armano aur toote vishwaso se

Kyu dikhte hain mujhko bas banjar ilaake

Kyu dekhu nahi mai vo jo dikhate

Kyu dard hee dikhta hai haste un logo ka

Marz kyu na milta dimagi in rogo ka

Jitna bhi bhaagu mai apne khayalo se

Aajate vo mere aur paas

Har shaqs bhi lagta paraya sa

Fir banna na hota kisika bhi khaas

Kaise ginwadu hazaro khayal

Kehke to dekh mere kehte hain yaar

Hausla jutake jatane bhi baitha

Fir sunte hain vo bas jo hotho se kehta

Mai chahta magar mai jata nahi paata

Fir lagta mujhko shayad mai hee hu jhootha

To dhun me hee khulne ki aadat ab

Mujhko sadmo me jeene ki aadat ab

Udhaari me lene mai aaunga dhoop

Inn pishacho se jeet mai jaunga jab

Ab ek gupt baat mere mann me hai

Jaise chalta hai yudh ek rann me hai

Vaise chale mann ka roop

Mere saaye har din har pal me hai

Aaj aur kal me hai daba hua thoda sa farq

Kal saath haath pakde chalte mai aur mann

Bas sukoon na junoon na ghutan na dard

Aaj liye hu mai baitha usi mann se karz

Kyu chalu mai uss raah pe jaha pe koi manzil hai hee nahi

Kyu thamu mai uss bheed me jaha pe koi apna hai hee nahi

Aur yaad bhi aayi vo yaadien waha

Jaha dafn kar baithi thi apni parwah

Farq ni padta inn kashto se ab bhi

Bas darta hu khudko na karlu agwah

Bhagu mai chupu ya kone se liptu

Us dariya me lipt hu jisme hai behti zehreeli si soch

Itni zehreeli ki sadak pe chalta mai Socha hu karta ke kya

Hoga agar mere oopar se vaahan guzarne lage

Fir mera ye jism oopar gagan me yoon udne lage

Aur fir bole ye logo ko maut se humsab kyu darte hain

Ye to sirf jism ka tyaag hai

Darna hai to bas us pal se daro

Jab dhokha tum dete ho khudko hee

Jab chubhti hai baatien samaj ki

Jab pyar na karte tum apno se

Jab haar tum jaate sangharsho se

Jab saath na dete lachaaro ka

Jab rukte nahi tum iss hod me

Jab chote palo ko tum raund ho dete

Ye kehke ki mujhko hai banna bada

Par sach to bas itna ki jinko hai mil jaata duniya ka sabkuch

Vo firbhi na rehte hain khush

Aur unko tab banna fir hota hai aur bada

Itne khayalo ke chalte

Chal jaata hu poori sadak

Fir sone se pehle guzarish mai karta

Kaash ye ho jaata sach

In dhuno me mai khoju kinare

Ye kaisa tufaan jo thamta nahi

Kisine bachaya hai mujhko nahi

Ya shayad dooba hee mai rehta sahi

Aasu ke pehlu kyu bhaate mujhe

Milte kyu vo dil jo rehte bujhe

Itni tareh ki bechaini hai mujhko

Chikitsak chillade bachalo mujhe

Mai vikrit mai paagal

Ajeeb sa lagta rozmarra ki baato se

Jabtak na bharjata itna ye kalapan

Gaana banana majboori ho jaati

Par firbhi ye bojh daudata hai mujhko

Ye kehta ki mai uska eklauta yaar aur

Saath me sau tarfa pyar mai kar baitha

Sabki tanhayi se jab bhi chudakar mai bhaagna chahu

Dimag hai kehta ye chaal hai meri

Aur jab bhi lage ki mai roshni me aau

Raatien kehdeti deewani hu teri

Dishao se nazrein churata hu firta

Madhoshi me manzil aur kuch bhi ni dikhra

Vo poochen tu din yoon guzarega kabtak

Mai bolu ke jabtak na aa jaati sthirta

Par sach to bas itna ki jhoot mai bolu

Khushiya bhi dedoge fir bhi na badlu

Itne vo din jo guzare hain gardish me

Kaise mai bhoolu vo kaise mai bhoolu

Kyu chalu mai uss raah pe jaha pe koi manzil hai hee nahi

Kyu thamu mai uss bheed me jaha pe koi apna hai hee nahi
