Filhaal abhi tak aisa koi kaam nahi kiya
Jisse main khush rahoon khud se,

Filhaal bahut waqt se main qaid hoon
Karke gunaah phasa khud ke zehen mein;

Filhaal haal-chal aaj kal kam puchhte hai
Log mujhe khud se,
Filhaal mere sapno se door
Mujhe karne pe tule mere apne filhaal mera…

Bahut waqt se nahi khud pe zor,
Dil tootne ke baad mehsoos hui chot
Pehle toh mujhe laga sab aasan
Bade bade channels karein mujhe call,

Sar pe ghamand Chadha jaise gira khai mein,
Todha maine rishton ko baithe jhaai mein
Aankhein khuli jab tak ho chuki thi der,
Maine khoya mere apno ko apno se apni ladai mein..

Babe, tu hi sahi teri jagah
Mere jaise insaan saala kisi ka nahi hoga
Sun, mujhe kar dena maaf
Jo main mar jaun kal par aisa bhi na hoga…

Yeh mujhe dekh maare taaliyan
Par mudte hi dene lage gaaliyan…
Khair mujhe pataa toh hai sab,
mujhe pataa toh hai sab…

bahut waqt se main khush nahi khud se
main kore kagazon ka ghar bana baitha,
main bolta tha aag hoon main beta par
khud ke hi haathon khud ko hi jala baitha;

bahut waqt se main soya nahi chain se
main khaali qalamon se baatein bana baitha
main sochta tha phelna hai mujhe
par khud ke hi haathon khud ko hi daba baitha…

Jin doston mein mere charche nahi the
wahi doston mein gaane mere chalte hai ab,
bhale aaj kal dikhta main mehenge se kapdon mein
maange hue kapdon mein tha main kal tak…

Maine chhod diya khaana, kaam kiya zyada,
pata nahi kab soya, aankh khuli kab,
laga muje galat raasta bhi sahi chun liya
jahaan jahaan dikha mauka gira, utha, aur bhaga…

kapde safed daag lage sau,
main leke ghooma saath shakalein jinki do…

na khud pe bharosa karna chahoon main khud
lage zindagi mein jeene ki wajah di maine kho

bahut waqt se main khush nahi khud se
aaine mein khud ko main dhoond raha,
kise kahu meri taqleefein kya,
kise kahu mai har din toot raha…

bahut waqt se main khush nahi khud se
bahut waqt se main khush nahi khud se…
