sote sote chaunk pade hum khwab mein hum ne kya dekha
jo khud hum ko dhund raha ho aisa ek rasta dekha

dur se ek parchhain dekhi apne se milti-julti
pas se apne chehre mein bhi aur koi chehra dekha

sona lene jab nikle to har har dher mein mitti thi
jab mitti ki khoj mein nikle sona hi sona dekha

sukhi dharti sun leti hai pani ki aawazon ko
pyasi aankhen bol uthti hain hum ne ek dariya dekha

aaj hamein khud apne ashkon ki qimat malum hui
apni chita mein apne-ap ko jab hum ne jalta dekha

chandi ke se jin ke badan the suraj ke se mukhde the
kuchh andhi galiyon mein hum ne un ka bhi saya dekha

raat wahi phir baat hui na hum ko nind nahin aai
apni ruh ke sannate se shor sa ek uthta dekha
