Har ek ruuh me.n ek Gham chhupaa lage hai mujhe,
ye zindagii to koii bad-duaa lage hai mujhe,

jo aa.Nsuu me.n kabhii raat bhiig jatii hai,
bahut qariib vo aavaaz-e-paa lage hai mujhe,

mai.n so bhii jaauu.N to merii ba.nd aa.Nkho.n me.n,
tamaam raat ko_ii jhaa.Nkataa lage hai mujhe,

mai.n jab bhii us ke Khayaalo.n me.n kho saa jaataa huu.N,
vo Khud bhii baat kare to buraa lage hai mujhe,

mai.n sochataa thaa ki lauTuu.Ngaa ajanabii kii tarah,
ye meraa gaao.N to pahachaanaa saa lage hai mujhe,

bikhar gayaa hai kuchh is tarah aadamii kaa vajuud,
har ek fard ko_ii saanehaa lage hai mujhe.
