Dur bhi jate hue pas bhi aate hue hum

dur bhi jate hue pas bhi aate hue hum
bhulte bhulte kuchh yaad dilate hue hum

nind ka is ko nasha hum ko jagane ki hawas
KHwab mein aate hue nind churaate hue hum

pahle rote hue apni hi nigahbani mein
aur be-saKHta phir KHud ko hansate hue hum

pichhli shab ponchhte aankhon se purane sabhi KHwab
agli shab KHwabon ka ambar lagate hue hum

chaaragar bante hue apni hi virani mein
pahli barish mein akele hi nahate hue hum

KHun armanon ka karte hue KHamoshi se
aur phir KHun ko aankhon mein chhupate hue hum

apni jholi mein kisi jit ka nashsha sa liye
us ke kuche se 'ziya' haar ke jate hue hain hum
