main kahta hun ki tu meri nahin koi to kahti hai ki tu mera
nahin koi hawa mein rang hai khushbu hai main kahta hun

khushbu hai hawa mein rang hai to bhi ye kahti hai chahakti sham
ki chidiyon ki aawaz-e-musalsal mein sitara sham ka mujh ko

bulata hai to tera nam leta hai sitara sham ka tujh ko bulata
hai to mera nam leta hai magar donon ye kahte hain sitara

koi bhi chamka nahin ab tak kahan ka nam aur kis ko bulana
aur phir to mujh se kahti hai ki duri ki hadon par teri

sansen meri sanson se nahin uljhin main
kahta hun ki duri ki hadon par teri sansen meri

sanson se nahin uljhin kabhi hum nind mein baaten karen
ek dusre ke pas hon ya khwab ki diwar par baithe

hue ek dusre ke ghar mein jhanken phir kahin kuchh
bhi nahin tha to kahin thi main kahin tha aur kabhi hathon

mein hath aur ek masafat ho kabhi jangal ki pani ki
kabhi donon hawa mein tairte hon aur yak dam chaunk jaen

aur kahen kya hath aur kaisi masafat kaise jangal kaisa pani sath
chalna khwab hai sab khwab hai sab khwab bhi to ek haqiqat hai

to phir inkar kar den khwab ka maujud ka aur dur ka inkar sab
inkar kya hum hain kahan hain kyon hain kya kuchh mawara hai

ya yahi sab hai magar kuchh bhi nahin khulta ki hum wo qufl hain jis
par samay ka zang badhta jaega paiham kabhi donon ye manen

dil ke rishte khun se badh kar hain magar dil ko tatolen aur
kahin kuchh bhi nahin milta tu mere waste pagal ho aur main

teri khatir hun magar duniya to kya phir khud se bhi sharmindagi ho
hae main tere liye pagal thi main tere liye kab tha

kabhi hum jagne sone ki ek kaifiyyat-e-be-tarah mein roen hansen
aur aasman si khamushi mein lipte dekhe jaen baham aur

rasai ke badhe hathon se takrae koi diwar shaffaf
aur nadida to hum donon kahin to thik hai apni jagah

tu bhi ki tu meri nahin koi ki tu mera nahin
