Ek baar phirse
Unko pukaar ne ka mauka milaa
Hamne badi door se aawaaz di
Ik dhundhlaa sa chehra
Aur zoron ki khaamoshi
Phir woh waalid thaa ya koi aur
Chaunga uthaa ke hamse poochne lage
Ki aap kaun hain!
Kya ham bataa dete ki ham
Ek mayoos shayir hain
Ek bekaar aashiq hain
Jinhein baar baar wohi
Bekasi naseeb hui
Kya ham bataa dete
Ki ham ham hain
Aur apni jaan ki aawaz
Ke firaaq mein
Dhadakte dil haat mein liye
Hoton par unheen ka naam liye
Bas, bayaan e ishk ka intezaar
Karte karte
Unko badnaami se rokne ke liye
Sannate ko apni zubaan banaa rahe hain?
Kya ham bataa dete
Ki hame shak hai
Ki woh woh nahin hain
Woh hamse utni hi door hain
Jitne us zamaane mein the
Kya ham bataa dete
Is umr mein bhi
Woh purani umeed
Hamare dil mein
Mom ke seene mein
Dhaage ke jigar ki tharah
Jal rahi hai?
Na.
Ham itne khudgarz nahin hain
Ham yeh kabhi zaahir nahin hone denge
Ki phirse wohi aashiq
Parvaana ho gayaa hai
Unhen unki khushi mubaarak
Ham apne purane gam se khush hain.
