saba kuch likhuun ya kuch bhee naa likhuun?

kya hee likhuun ke tujko naa likhuun?

bhatak raha hoon in andheron mein yoon hee

naaraaz chaand hai ya thaaron kee kamee?

jo khwaab dekhe the in aankhon ne kabhi

un khwaabon kee kaheen ye raakh bhee nahin

kahaa tha mujko jisane "ghar" kabhi

rukhsat hua , jala gaya vo sabhee

vafaa se hee muje vafaa kee ummid

hain gam milee to aaj vo hee qareeb

meri shaayari se naa mujko aanko

jahaan kalam chhoduun main, vahaan mujhamen jhaanko

meri shaayari se naa mujko aanko

jahaan kalam chhoduun main, vahaan mujhamen jhaanko

kalam main chhoduun jab, tuje main dikhuungaa jesaa hoon asal mein main

dikhuungaa tuje jab aankhon se paradaa hataayegi to bagal mein rah

par bagal mein rahana too, rahana too asal, naa kisi kee nakal too rah

aur agar too nakal to teri is kamal-see shakal ka karoon kya main?

ye shaayari hai tere laayak nahin

to shaayad hee tere kisi kaam aaegee

aur ab bhee hai khatkati teri yahaan kamee

ye khaali ghar hai jaise sukhi koyi nadi

aur too hai jo yahaan aaj jalapari banee

par hai samandar fir bhee kaaraa hee to hee

ye khel hai aisa jismein fas chuke hain main aur aap bhee

to kya hua agar main likhte vaqt banoon sharaabee?

aur is samaya in chizon mein nahin dikhti koyi karaabi

jab guzaregaa ye pal to aaegee nahin too yaad zaraa bhee

meri shaayari se naa mujko aanko

jahaan kalam chhoduun main, vahaan mujhamen jhaanko

meri shaayari se naa mujko aanko

jahaan kalam chhoduun main, vahaan mujhamen jhaanko

gira ke muje in andheron mein, maazi mera saath aayaa hai

gira ke muje in andheron mein, maazi mera saath aayaa hai

ajab shaks hai, qatal bhee kiya, aur gale bhee lagaaya hai

gale bhee lagaaya hai, chhoo ke jalaayaa hai

jalanaa nahin, too sooraj nahin, too chaand hai mera

dikhe to hai ujalaa, nahin to hai andhera

aur har raat hain tere alag bhes

aa, ghumaun tujko alag desh main alag se

garajte ye baadal, tere-mere beech baarish ho rahee hai

main chilla raha hoon darad se

aur soch raha hoon , "uska arth kya hai"

main soch raha hoon , "mera farz kya hai"

jaise-jaise dil kee chotein khaataa

vaise pata chalta, hona hota mard kya hai

naa, main nahin hoon koyi shaayar

baathen banane kee fitrat hai dil mein

par likhata hoon kyunki main nahin hoon koyi kaayar

main nahin hoon koyi kaayar, hoon bahut hee maahir

main duniyaa ghumuun jaise pahiyaa aur tire

main fire, ye chaahate main ho jaaoon retire

I tried lekin yahaan dil ke hain bajte sitar

har baar kahanikar

aur, haan , mera chaand nahin dikhaa muje fir kabhi

baadal aaye, baadal barase, baadal chhante

kayi raat kee amaavas aayi

fir chaand aayaa par vaisaa nahin aayaa

meri shaayari se naa mujko aanko

jahaan kalam chhoduun main, vahaan mujhamen jhaanko

meri shaayari se naa mujko aanko

jahaan kalam chhoduun main, vahaan mujhamen jhaanko
