jab..... apni raah chaltaa hai .....akelaa hone lagtaa hai..

andheraa zehan kaa..... samt-e-safar.... jab khone lagtaa hai;
kisi kaa dhyaan aataa hai ......ujaalaa...... hone lagtaa hai.

wo jitni door ho...... utnaa hi........ meraa hone lagtaa hai;
magar..... jab paas aataa hai ....to .....mujhse khone lagtaa hai.

kisi ne rakh diye...... mamtaa bhare do haath .......kyaa sar par;
mere andar..... koi bachchaa....... bilakh kar ......rone lagtaa hai.

mohabbat chaar din ki...... aur .......udaasi zindgi bhar ki;
yahi sab dekhtaa hai .....aur...... kabeeraa rone lagtaa hai.

samajhte hi nahin naadaan....... kai din ki hai .......milkeeyat;
paraaye kheton pe ......apnon mein .......jhagdaa hone lagtaa hai.

ye dil ....bach kar zamaane bhar se........ chalnaa chaahe hai lekin;
jab..... apni raah chaltaa hai .....akelaa hone lagtaa hai.........
