Kahin Kuchh Bhee Uthlaa Na Rah Jaae

in dinon main Doob-utaraa rahee hoo(n)
apane hee bheetar ke paanee men
aise jaise ek pyaalaa ho meree deh aur
chaay pattee ke saishe-saa meraa vyaktitv
Doob aur utaraa rahaa hai apane hee bheetar kaheen

n jaane kyoo(n) jitanee baar ubaratee hoo(n) khud se
phir-phir Doob jaanaa chaahatee hoo(n) khud men hee
ki sadiyaa(n) gavaah hain is saty kee
jo jitanaa Doobaa khud men
utanaa hee ubaraa hai auron ke lie

meraa mujhamen hee Doob jaanaa udaas karataa hai mujhe
aur main dha(n)satee hee chalee jaatee hoo(n) aise
jaise koee bhaaree patthar ba(n)dhaa ho paa(n)von men jo
kheenchataa jaataa hai mujhe bheetar aur bheetar
ubarane ke lie haath-pair maaratee hai meree jijeeviShaa
lekin kuchh hai jo liye jaa rahaa hai mujhe atal gaharaaiyon men

udaasiyon ke samandar lapeTe main paa lenaa chaahatee hoo(n) khud ko
bheegatee rahatee hoo(n) kisee aakh़iree kaN tak
aur aur udaas hotee hoo(n)
samandar ke gahare tal se phudakakar kuchh boo(n)den
Thahar jaatee hain meree aa(n)khon kee koron par
aur main aa(n)khen meench lauTaa detee hoo(n) unhen
apane hee bheetar ke samandar ko

abhee aur Doobanaa hai aur jaanaa hai us tal tak
kahate hain ki jahaa(n) ke baad
haar maan letaa hai gaharaa neelaa bhayaavah samandar bhee
mujhe apane bheetar kee gaharaaiyon se lauTate rahanaa hai baar-baar
taaki mujhamen kaheen kuchh bhee uthalaa n rah jaae.
