Hamare dukhon ka ilaj kahan hai

agar hamare dukhon ka ilaj
nind hai

to koi hum se ziyaada gahri nind nahin so sakta
aur na hi itni aasani aur KHub-surati se

koi nind mein chal sakta hai
agar hamare dukhon ka ilaj

jagna hai
to hum is qadar jag sakte hain

ki har raat hamari aankhon mein aaram kar sakti hai
aur har darwaza

hamare dil mein khul sakta hai
agar hamare dukhon ka ilaj

hansna hai
to hum itna hans sakte hain

ki parinde, daraKHton se uD jaen
aur pahaD hamari hansi ki gunj se bhar jaen

hum itna hans sakte hain
ki koi masKHara ya pagal

is ka tasawwur tak nahin kar sakta
agar hamare dukhon ka ilaj

rona hai
to hamare pas itne aansu hain

ki in mein sari duniya ko Duboya ja sakta hai
jahannam bujhae ja sakte hain

aur sari zamin ko pani diya ja sakta hai
agar hamare dukhon ka ilaj

jina hai
to hum se ziyaada ba-mani zindagi

kaun guzar sakta hai
aur kaun aise saliqe aur aziyyat se

is duniya ko dekh sakta hai
agar hamare dukhon ka ilaj

bolna hai
to hum hawa ki tarah guftugu kar sakte hain

aur apne lafzon ki KHushbu se
phul khila sakte hain

aur agar tum kahte ho:
hamare dukhon ka ilaj kahin nahin hai

to hum chup rah sakte hain
qabron se bhi ziyaada
