Dil mein ek khayal aya toh tha
meine bhula diya
Jagi thi ichcha bhi firse
meine sula diya
Zinda hun toh sirf isliye
ki murda ban na nahi chahta
Marna chahta hun kyunki
zindon ke beech raha nahi jata
Har khushi har gam
sab pa-kho chuka hun mein
Khoob hasa hun jhundon mein
khoob akela ro chuka hun mein
Sadiyon tak jaga
yugon tak so chuka hun mein
Nirarthakta se bhari is sarthak duniya se
kuch bore sa ho chuka hun mein
Jisme dekh sakun khud ko fir se
aisa ek aaina bhi nahi milta
Bemani bhikhri zindagi ka
koi mayna bhi nahi milta
Vahi suraj sangi din
chand sangini raat hi toh hai
Vahi purane log
vahi purani baat hi toh hai
Mann ka kya hai
lagaunga toh lag hi jayega
Par nasamajh yeh nahi samjhega
ki saath toh kuch nahi jayega
Kya janmon ke karm, svarg aur nark
kisne kya dekha hai
Khokhle sitare, kundaliyan sari
kya hathon ki rekha hai
Inko dekh kuch badal sakta
toh kya badla nahi hota
Kyun log marte, bura bhala karte
kyun kabhi koi bhi rota
Sab kehne ki baatein hi toh hein yahan
kaun sarvgyani, kya sarvoch sach hai
Bas bane hi kuch aise hein ki jiye ja rahe hein
jeene ka jo lalach hai
Bhagvan ke diye is lalach ke chalte hi
jeeye ja raha hun mein
Aur 'bhagvan kaun?' yeh sawal bhi mann hi mann
kiye ja raha hun mein
Vaise dukh nahi mujhe koi
par khush bhi nahi hun mein
Chahta toh nahi kuch aur
magar santusht bhi nahi hun mein
Paribhashaon mein buni is duniya se
apekshayein aur kya karna
Har arth anarth ban jaye toh
cheezon pe gaur kya karna
Jeevan maran se toh mera
kya rishta kya nata
Par jeene ka lalach chod sakta
toh thoda aram mil jata.
