ye mujh se puchhte hain chaaragar kyun
ki tu zinda to hai ab tak magar kyun

jo rasta chhod ke main ja raha hun
usi raste pe jati hai nazar kyun

thakan se chur pas aaya tha us ke
gira sote mein mujh par ye shajar kyun

sunaenge kabhi fursat mein tum ko
ki hum barson rahe hain dar-ba-dar kyun

yahan bhi sab hain begana hi mujh se
kahun main kya ki yaad aaya hai ghar kyun

main khush rahta agar samjha na hota
ye duniya hai to main hun dida-war kyun
