main jism o jaan ke tamam rishton se chahta hun
nahin samajhta ki aisa kyun hai

na khal-o-khad ka jamal us mein na zindagi ka kamal koi
jo koi us mein hunar bhi hoga

to mujh ko is ki khabar nahin hai
na jaane phir kyun!

main waqt ke daeron se bahar kisi tasawwur mein ud raha hun
khayal mein khwab o khalwat-e-zat o jalwat-e-bazm mein shab o roz

mera lahu apni gardishon mein usi ki tasbih padh raha hai
jo meri chahat se be-khabar hai

kabhi kabhi wo nazar chura kar qarib se mere yun bhi guzra
ki jaise wo ba-khabar hai

meri mohabbaton se
dil o nazar ki hikayaten sun rakhi hain us ne

meri hi surat
wo waqt ke daeron se bahar kisi tasawwur mein ud raha hai

khayal mein khwab o khalwat-e-zat o jalwat-e-bazm mein shab o roz
wo jism o jaan ke tamam rishton se chahta hai

magar nahin jaanta ye wo bhi
ki aisa kyun hai

main sochta hun wo sochta hai
kabhi mile hum to aainon ke tamam baatin ayan karenge

haqiqaton ka safar karenge
