darwaze ke andar ek darwaza aur

darvāze ke andar ik darvāza aur

chhupā huā hai mujh meñ jaane kyā kyā aur

koī ant nahīñ man ke sūne-pan kā

sannāTe ke paar hai ik sannāTā aur

kabhī to lagtā hai jitnā hai kaafī hai

aur kabhī lagtā hai aur zarā sā aur

sach kahne par ḳhush honā to duur rahā

kiyā zamāne ne mujh ko sharminda aur

ajab musāfir huuñ maiñ merā safar ajiib

merī manzil aur hai merā rasta aur

auroñ jaise aur na jaane kitne haiñ

koī kahāñ hai lekin mere jaisā aur

darwaze ke andar ek darwaza aur

chhupa hua hai mujh mein jaane kya kya aur

koi ant nahin man ke sune-pan ka

sannaTe ke par hai ek sannaTa aur

kabhi to lagta hai jitna hai kafi hai

aur kabhi lagta hai aur zara sa aur

sach kahne par KHush hona to dur raha

kiya zamane ne mujh ko sharminda aur

ajab musafir hun main mera safar ajib

meri manzil aur hai mera rasta aur

auron jaise aur na jaane kitne hain

koi kahan hai lekin mere jaisa aur
