Manzil

Yeh siyah lamha hai

Khudko kamzor mehsoos karta hun,

Aasmaan baras raha hai

Aur piyasi zameen naha rahi hai,

Zahen majhool sa hai,

Khayalaat hain ke ghubbaar,

Har zarre mein maut ki aahat

Phool hai ke khushbudaar

Mausam hai ke khud-mukhtaar

Aur ek hum hain,

Apahaj!

Na koi aazaadi na koi qaid!

Taang hain magar chal nahin sakte

Hont hain magar bol nahin sakte,

Chahte hain magar pa nahin sakte...

Saanson mein bejod khinchao,

Aankhon mein nakaam umeedien,

Har sun dukhaan,

Siyah safed sab ek hai

Tum ho meelon door

Aur mein khud mein khoya,

Koi tumse juda hai

Aur koi juda karna chahta hai,

Rasam o rivaj ki aari chalne waali hai

Aur yeh dil bargad ki tarah dheh jaayega

Mein nahin jaanta, kya keh raha hun

Bas itna jaanta hun,

Yeh itna aasaan nahin

Iske samjho mere humsafar

Hum sath saath hain,

Magar

Manzil abhi door hai!
