dekho to kuchh ziyan nahin khone ke bawajud

dekho to kuchh ziyāñ nahīñ khone ke bāvajūd

hotā hai ab bhī ishq na hone ke bāvajūd

shāyad ye ḳhaak meñ hī samāne kī mashq ho

sotā huuñ farsh par jo bichhaune ke bāvajūd

kartā huuñ niind meñ hī safar saare shahr kā

fāriġh to baiThtā nahīñ sone ke bāvajūd

hotī nahīñ hai merī tasallī kisī tarah

rone kā intizār hai rone ke bāvajūd

paanī to ek umr se mujh par hai be-asar

mailā huuñ jaise aur bhī dhone ke bāvajūd

bojhal to maiñ kuchh aur bhī rahtā huuñ raat din

sāmān-e-ḳhvāb raat ko Dhone ke bāvajūd

thī pyaas to vahīñ kī vahīñ aur maiñ vahāñ

ḳhush thā zarā sā hoñT bhigone ke bāvajūd

ye kīmiyā-garī mirī apnī hai is liye

maiñ raakh hī samajhtā huuñ sone ke bāvajūd

Dartā huuñ phir kahīñ se nikāleñ na sar 'zafar'

maiñ us ko apne saath Dubone ke bāvajūd

dekho to kuchh ziyan nahin khone ke bawajud

hota hai ab bhi ishq na hone ke bawajud

shayad ye KHak mein hi samane ki mashq ho

sota hun farsh par jo bichhaune ke bawajud

karta hun nind mein hi safar sare shahr ka

farigh to baiThta nahin sone ke bawajud

hoti nahin hai meri tasalli kisi tarah

rone ka intizar hai rone ke bawajud

pani to ek umr se mujh par hai be-asar

maila hun jaise aur bhi dhone ke bawajud

bojhal to main kuchh aur bhi rahta hun raat din

saman-e-KHwab raat ko Dhone ke bawajud

thi pyas to wahin ki wahin aur main wahan

KHush tha zara sa honT bhigone ke bawajud

ye kimiya-gari meri apni hai is liye

main rakh hi samajhta hun sone ke bawajud

Darta hun phir kahin se nikalen na sar 'zafar'

main us ko apne sath Dubone ke bawajud
