kyun aankhen band kar ke raste mein chal raha hun
kya main bhi rafta rafta patthar mein dhal raha hun

chaaron taraf hain shole ham-sae jal rahe hain
main ghar mein baitha baitha bas hath mal raha hun

mere dhuen se meri har sans ghut rahi hai
main rah ka diya hun aur ghar mein jal raha hun

aankhon pe chha gaya hai koi tilism shayad
palken jhapak raha hun manzar badal raha hun

tabdiliyon ka nashsha mujh par chadha hua hai
kapde badal raha hun chehra badal raha hun

is faisle se khush hain afrad ghar ke sare
apni khushi se kab main ghar se nikal raha hun

in pattharon pe chalna aa jaega mujhe bhi
thokar to kha raha hun lekin sambhal raha hun

kanton pe jab chalunga raftar tez hogi
phulon bhari rawish par bach bach ke chal raha hun

chashme ki tarah 'alam' ashaar phutte hain
koh-e-giran ki surat mein bhi ubal raha hun
