kahii.n chhat thii diivaar-o-dar the kahii.n
milaa mujhako ghar kaa pataa der se
diyaa to bahut zindagii ne mujhe
magar jo diyaa vo diyaa der se

huaa na ko_ii kaam maamuul se
guzaare shab-o-roz kuchh is tarah
kabhii chaa.Nd chamakaa Galat vaqt par
kabhii ghar me.n suuraj ugaa der se

kabhii ruk gaye raah me.n besabab
kabhii vaqt se pahale ghir aa_ii shab
huye ba.nd daravaaze khul khul ke sab
jahaa.N bhii gayaa mai.n gayaa der se

ye sab ittifaaqaat kaa khel hai
yahii hai judaa_ii yahii mel hai
mai.n mu.D mu.D ke dekhaa kiyaa duur tak
banii vo Khaamoshii sadaa der se

sajaa din bhii raushan hu_ii raat bhii
bhare jaam laharaa_ii barasaat bhii
rahe saath kuchh aise haalaat bhii
jo honaa thaa jaldii huaa der se

bhaTakatii rahii yuu.N hii har ba.ndagii
milii na kahii.n se ko_ii raushanii
chhupaa thaa kahii.n bhii.D me.n aadamii
huaa mujh me.n raushan Khudaa der se
