Khayalon mein doobe' rehne' ki iss aadat ki toh tauba

Khayalon mein doobe' rehne' ki iss aadat ki toh tauba,
Kabhi isska toh kabhi uska khayal aata hai.

Kya höga isska ya uska mizaaz?
Baar baar yeh sawaal aata hai.

Khayalon ki duniya ki raunaq ki bhi tauba,
Kabhi josh, kabhi khushi, toh kabhi kisi fikar ka paigham aata hai.

Jeet hi jaayeinge yeh jung,
Ya hogi hamari bhi koi bemisaal shaksiyat.

Ya kya höga agar hamara kuch nahi höga?
Aise' anjaam mann mein aksar aate' rehte' hain.

Khayalon ke' kuch andaaz ke' bhi tauba,
Kabhi hosh mein, toh kabhi jaam ke aagosh mein aate' hain.

Hosh mein aaye' kuch khayal toh phir theek hain,
Magar jaam ke' aagosh mein aaye' khayalon ki toh tauba.

Humse' badhkar kaun hai?
Aise' alam mein aise' joshile' khayal aate' rehte' hain.

Kuch bhi kaho, magar khayalon ke' bina bhi iss zindagi ki toh tauba,
Mann ek sunsaan shehar ki tarah lagne' lagta hai.

Sach, khayalon mein doobte' rehne' ki aadat se' toh tauba, 
Kuch meetha, kuch khatta, aur kuch karwa yeh jahaan lagne' lagta hai.
