phul ne tahni se udne ki koshish ki
ek tair ka dil rakhne ki koshish ki
kal phir chand ka khanjar ghonp ke sine mein
raat ne meri jaan lene ki koshish ki
koi na koi rahbar rasta kat gaya
jab bhi apni rah chalne ki koshish ki
kitni lambi khamoshi se guzra hun
un se kitna kuchh kahne ki koshish ki
ek hi khwab ne sari raat jagaya hai
main ne har karwat sone ki koshish ki
ek sitara jaldi jaldi dub gaya
main ne jab tare ginne ki koshish ki
nam mera tha aur pata apne ghar ka
us ne mujh ko khat likhne ki koshish ki
ek dhuen ka marghola sa nikla hai
mitti mein jab dil bone ki koshish ki
