kahin jata nahin ye dard-e-dil thahra bhi rahta hai
purane zakhm se rishta mera gahra bhi rahta hai

wo sab kuchh jaan leta hai mera chehra hi padh padh kar
bana rahne do pahra koi gar pahra bhi rahta hai

bahut sari tsunami hain mere dil ki tarah us mein
mahaz dikhta hai pani jhil ka thahra bhi rahta hai

taraazu se na tolo tum hamari pyas ka matlab
kabhi dariya bhi rahta hai kabhi sahra bhi rahta hai

hai kuchh jadu-bhari kursi siyasat ki ki jo baitha
kabhi andha bhi rahta hai kabhi bahra bhi rahta hai
