dekhaa huaa saa kuchh hai to sochaa huaa saa kuchh
har vaqt mere saath hai ulajhaa huaa saa kuchh

[ulajhaa huaa = tangled/confused]

hotaa hai yuu.N bhii raastaa khulataa nahii.n kahii.n
ja.ngal-saa phail jaataa hai khoyaa huaa saa kuchh

saahil kii gilii ret par bachcho.n ke khel-saa
har lamhaa mujh me.n banataa bikharataa huaa saa kuchh

[saahil = shore; giilii = wet; lamhaa = moment]

fursat ne aaj ghar ko sajaayaa kuchh is tarah
har shay se muskuraataa hai rotaa huaa saa kuchh

[fursat = leisure; shay = object/thing]

dhu.Ndhalii sii ek yaad kisii qabr kaa diyaa
aur mere aas-paas chamkataa huaa saa kuchh

[qabr = grave]
