Kucch bekaar ki batein...

Mai apni taqleef kisse bayaan karu
Kha-ma-kha kyu
kisi aur ki taqleef mein ijaafa karu

Mai shaqs hoon ajeeb khud se kehta hoon
zakhm yaad rakhta hoon sabhi
jinhe na-jane-kab-se bhool chuka hoon

Aaj kucch naya kehne ki tabiyat jagi
Na jane kab se
mai padhta raha hoon tujhe...

Shayad "wohi" tha doondhta raha sadiyo se jise
chita pe leta dekh
mai pehchan na saka use

Fehrist sawaalat ki liye firta hoon aise
jaisa johe hai baat koi
mar-ke phir na aane wale ki...
