Kuchh Naheen Hilaa Us din

kuchh naheen hilaa us din
n pal n prahar n din n raat

sab nikShchal khaḌe rahe
taakate hooe aspataal ke parade
aur daravaaje aur khiḌakeeyaa(n)
aur aatee-jaatee laḌakiyaa(n)
jinhe main sisTar naheen kahanaa chaahataa thaa
kahanaa hee paḌataa thaa to pukaarataa thaa beTee kahakar

aur doosare din jab hile
pal aur prahar aur din aur raat
tab sab ek saath badal gaye maan
aspataal ke parade aur daravaaje
aur khiḌakiyaa(n) aur
kamare men aatee-jaatee laḌakiyaa(n)
sirahaane khaḌee meree patnee
paayataane baiThaa meraa beTaa
ab tak kee gumasum meree laḌakee
aur baahar ke tamaam jhaaḌ
shareer ke bheetar kee nasen
man ke bheetar ke pahaaḌ

aisaa hotaa hai samay kabhee kitanaa sotaa hai
kabhee kitanaa jaagataa hai
lagataa hai kabhee kitanaa ho gayaa hai sthir
kabhee kitanaa bhaagataa hai!
