aaj main khud se bahut dur nikal aaya hun
apne jazbon se pare

apne khayalon se pare
apni yaadon ki wirasat se pare

aaj main khud se bahut dur nikal aaya hun
dur itna ki jahan

koi nahin dur talak
koi hamdard nahin

koi bhi dam-saz nahin
sirf tute hue rishton ki sulagti hui ret

meri aankhon ke samundar ki taraf udti hai
dur tak gum-shuda lamhat ki qabron pe

udasi ke diye jalte hain
koi rasta koi manzil na kisi samt safar ka imkan

wapsi ki sabhi rahen masdud
sirf ek jhuti ana hai

jo nae khwab dikhati hai mujhe
khwab aise jinhen tabir se dar lagta hai

khwab aise
jinhen bite hue lamhat ki sachchai se khauf aata hai

aaj main khud se
bahut dur nikal aaya hun

phir bhi lagta hai
koi mujh ko pukare

to palat jaun main
apne jazbon ki taraf

apne bite hue lamhon ki taraf
apni taraf

apne badan mein wapas
