koi ye kaise bataaye ke, wo tanahaa kyon haiwo jo apanaa thaa wahee, aaur kisee kaa kyon hai
yahee duniyaan hain to fir, ayesee ye duniyaan kyon hai
yahee hotaa hain to aakhir, yahee hotaa kyon hai?
ik jaraa haath badhaa de to, pakad le daaman
uske seene mein samaa jaaye, humaaree dhadkan
itni kurbat hain to phir, faaslaa itnaa kyon hai?
dil-e-barabaad se niklaa naheen, ab tak koee
ik loote ghar pe diyaa karataa hain, dastak koee
aas jo toot gayee;phir se; bandhaataa kyon hai?
tum masarrt kaa kaho yaa, ise gam kaa rishtaa
kahate hain, pyaar kaa rishtaa hain janam kaa rishtaa
hai janam kaa jo ye rishtaa to, badalataa kyon hai?
