ek aas ka dhundla saya hai ek pas ka tapta sahra hai
ik aas kā dhuñdlā saaya hai ik paas kā taptā sahrā hai
kyā dekh rahe ho āñkhoñ meñ in āñkhoñ meñ kyā rakkhā hai
jab khone ko kuchh paas bhī thā tab paane kā kuchh dhyān na thā
ab sochte ho kyuuñ sochte ho kyā khoyā hai kyā paayā hai
maiñ jhuuT ko sach se kyuuñ badlūñ aur raat ko din meñ kyuuñ gholūñ
kyā sunñe vaalā bahrā hai kyā dekhne vaalā andhā hai
har ḳhaak meñ hai gauhar ġhaltāñ har gauhar meñ miTTī raqsāñ
jis ruup ke sab gun gaate haiñ vo ruup bhī kis ne dekhā hai
kis dil kī baat kaheñ ham tum kis dil kā dard saheñ ham tum
dil patthar hai dil shīsha hai dil sahrā hai dil dariyā hai
ab saare taare kankar haiñ ab saare hiire patthar haiñ
is bastī meñ kyuuñ aa.e ho is bastī meñ kyā rakkhā hai
ye marnā jiinā bhī shāyad majbūrī kī do lahreñ haiñ
kuchh soch ke marnā chāhā thā kuchh soch ke jiinā chāhā hai
ek aas ka dhundla saya hai ek pas ka tapta sahra hai
kya dekh rahe ho aankhon mein in aankhon mein kya rakkha hai
jab khone ko kuchh pas bhi tha tab pane ka kuchh dhyan na tha
ab sochte ho kyun sochte ho kya khoya hai kya paya hai
main jhuT ko sach se kyun badlun aur raat ko din mein kyun gholun
kya sunne wala bahra hai kya dekhne wala andha hai
har KHak mein hai gauhar ghaltan har gauhar mein miTTi raqsan
jis rup ke sab gun gate hain wo rup bhi kis ne dekha hai
kis dil ki baat kahen hum tum kis dil ka dard sahen hum tum
dil patthar hai dil shisha hai dil sahra hai dil dariya hai
ab sare tare kankar hain ab sare hire patthar hain
is basti mein kyun aae ho is basti mein kya rakkha hai
ye marna jina bhi shayad majburi ki do lahren hain
kuchh soch ke marna chaha tha kuchh soch ke jina chaha hai
