sochā thā

kuchh bhī ho

kuchh bhī hotā rahe

koī tarse

koī dil ġhamoñ kī tapish meñ sulagtā rahe

koī nam aañkh

sūkhe hue hoñT hasrat kā kaasa liye

bādaloñ ko take

koī lāġhar badan pairahan ke phaTe tāroñ se jhāñktī haDDiyāñ

sardiyoñ kī ThiThurtī huī raat

fōtpath par kaaT de

kuchh bhī ho kuchh bhī hotā rahe

ham se in sab kā kyā vāsta

ham hañseñ

bijliyāñ chāhe is shahr ke ghar ke ghar phūñk deñ

rāste har sahar ek kuchlī huī nā'sh kā ḳhuun chāTā kareñ

ham hañseñ

ḳhush raheñ

ham se in sab kā kyā vāsta

aaj hañsne kī nākām koshish meñ ye

yak-ba-yak kyā huā

koī mujh se mirā apnā-pan chhīn kar le gayā

log kahte haiñ is qatl meñ

merā hī haath thā

socha tha

kuchh bhi ho

kuchh bhi hota rahe

koi tarse

koi dil ghamon ki tapish mein sulagta rahe

koi nam aankh

sukhe hue honT hasrat ka kasa liye

baadalon ko take

koi laghar badan pairahan ke phaTe taron se jhankti haDDiyan

sardiyon ki ThiThurti hui raat

footpath par kaT de

kuchh bhi ho kuchh bhi hota rahe

hum se in sab ka kya wasta

hum hansen

bijliyan chahe is shahr ke ghar ke ghar phunk den

raste har sahar ek kuchli hui na'sh ka KHun chaTa karen

hum hansen

KHush rahen

hum se in sab ka kya wasta

aaj hansne ki nakaam koshish mein ye

yak-ba-yak kya hua

koi mujh se mera apna-pan chhin kar le gaya

log kahte hain is qatl mein

mera hi hath tha
