andhera miTta nahin hai miTana paDta hai
añdherā miTtā nahīñ hai miTānā paḌtā hai
bujhe charāġh ko phir se jalānā paḌtā hai
ye aur baat hai ghabrā rahā hai dil varna
ġhamoñ kā bojh to sab ko uThānā paḌtā hai
kabhī kabhī to in ashkoñ kī aabrū ke liye
na chāhte hue bhī muskurānā paḌtā hai
ab apnī baat ko kahnā bahut hī mushkil hai
har ek baat ko kitnā ghumānā paḌtā hai
vagarna guftugū kartī nahīñ ye ḳhāmoshī
har ik sadā ko hameñ chup karānā paḌtā hai
ab apne paas to ham ḳhud ko bhī nahīñ milte
hameñ bhī ḳhud se bahut duur jaanā paḌtā hai
ik aisā vaqt bhī aatā hai zindagī meñ kabhī
jab apne saa.e se pīchhā chhuḌānā paḌtā hai
bas ek jhuuT kabhī aa.ine se bolā thā
ab apne aap se chehra chhupānā paḌtā hai
hamāre haal pe ab chhoḌ de hameñ duniyā
ye baar baar hameñ kyuuñ batānā paḌtā hai
andhera miTta nahin hai miTana paDta hai
bujhe charagh ko phir se jalana paDta hai
ye aur baat hai ghabra raha hai dil warna
ghamon ka bojh to sab ko uThana paDta hai
kabhi kabhi to in ashkon ki aabru ke liye
na chahte hue bhi muskurana paDta hai
ab apni baat ko kahna bahut hi mushkil hai
har ek baat ko kitna ghumana paDta hai
wagarna guftugu karti nahin ye KHamoshi
har ek sada ko hamein chup karana paDta hai
ab apne pas to hum KHud ko bhi nahin milte
hamein bhi KHud se bahut dur jaana paDta hai
ek aisa waqt bhi aata hai zindagi mein kabhi
jab apne sae se pichha chhuDana paDta hai
bas ek jhuT kabhi aaine se bola tha
ab apne aap se chehra chhupana paDta hai
hamare haal pe ab chhoD de hamein duniya
ye bar bar hamein kyun batana paDta hai
