na-jāne kaisī nigāhoñ se maut ne dekhā
huī hai niiñd se bedār zindagī ki maiñ huuñ
na-jaane kaisi nigahon se maut ne dekha
hui hai nind se bedar zindagi ki main hun
naqsh jab zaḳhm banā zaḳhm bhī nāsūr huā
jā ke tab koī masīhā.ī pe majbūr huā
naqsh jab zaKHm bana zaKHm bhi nasur hua
ja ke tab koi masihai pe majbur hua
kabhī kabhī to achchhā-ḳhāsā chalte chalte
yuuñ lagtā hai aage rasta koī nahīñ hai
kabhi kabhi to achchha-KHasa chalte chalte
yun lagta hai aage rasta koi nahin hai
aaj sochā hai ki ḳhud raste banānā siikh luuñ
is tarah to umr saarī sochtī rah jā.ūñgī
aaj socha hai ki KHud raste banana sikh lun
is tarah to umr sari sochti rah jaungi
jaane phir muñh meñ zabāñ rakhne kā masraf kyā hai
jo kahā chāhte haiñ vo to nahīñ kah sakte
jaane phir munh mein zaban rakhne ka masraf kya hai
jo kaha chahte hain wo to nahin kah sakte
