tarz jiine kaa sikhaatii hai mujhe 
tashnagii zahar pilaatii hai mujhe 

[tarz = style; tashnagii = thirst] 

raat bhar rahatii hai kis baat kii dhun 
na jagaatii hai na sulaatii hai mujhe 

ruuThataa huu.N jo kabhii duniyaa se 
zi.ndagii aake manaatii hai mujhe 

aa_iinaa dekhuu.N to kyuu.N kar dekhuu.N 
yaad ik shaKhs kii aatii hai mujhe 

ba.nd karataa huu.N jo aa.Nkhe.n kyaa kyaa 
raushanii sii nazar aatii hai mujhe 

ko_ii mil jaaye to raastaa kaT jaaye 
apanii parachhaa_ii Daraatii hai mujhe 

ab to ye bhuul gayaa kis kii talab 
des parades phiraatii hai mujhe 

[talab = desire] 

kaise ho Khatm kahaanii Gam kii 
ab to kuchh nii.nd sii aatii hai mujhe
