ZINDA HUN MAIN……

Shiskta hua
Dhadkta hua
Apne aap main tadpta hua
Hai kuch saans baki
Abhi bhi
Naa janne kaun le jayega usse bhi
Gair ya apne

Naya chehra
Naye khavab
Na mere liye
Bas us ke liye
Who bhi paanch baras ke liye
Kyun karta hun main yeh paap
Har baar

Kabhi baarishon main dhansa
Kabhi haadson main fassa
Kabhi meri bhartiyata ko khandit kiya
Har baar apne aap ko samjha liya
Ki main to nahin
Mera to nahin
Lekin ish baar kaise smjhayun
Apne aap ko

Kyun rondta gaya mujhe har koi
Kyun bhul gaya
Ki meri bhi zindagi hai koi
Maangi thi jo chand saansen
Who bhi chain se
Na mil payengi
Maut latak
Ya mit jayegi aise hi
Baichain har pal yeh saansen

Yun to yaad hai mujhe ab bhi
Har teen ghante se pehle
Jan gan man gaana
Aur gaa ke apne aap main
Sisak ke reh jana
Kyunki karna
Chahta hun main bahut kuch
Na kar saka bas ulajh ke re gaya
Har baar

Naa ulajhna chahta hun
Na fasna chahta hun
Bas barasna chahta hun
Kyun na fat paya aaj talak
Shayad tha ek intezaar
Ek bhukamp ka
Apne andar ka

Na rukega yeh
Na bhujega yeh
Jo thame rakha tha
Barson apne aap main

Kyun bhool jayun apne
Kulbulahat ko
Kyun begana kar dun
Shahadat ko

Har baar sahi
Ab ish baar nahi
Maangta hun jawab apne aap se
Aur maangta hun jawab
Har kisi se

Hai kisi main himmat
Jo saath de meri
Aur hila de ish duniya ko
Aur samajh paye insaniyat apne ander ki.........
