Kabhi-kabhi

Kabhi khamosh beithe hain kabhi woh gungunate hain

Kabhi khud door jaate hain kabhi hum ko bulaate hain

Woh hanste hain woh rote hain kabhi daaman churate hain

Kabhi shikwa jataate hain kabhi sab bhool jaate hain!

Hijir ki bheegi raaton ka nasha kuch aisa hota hai

Kabhi unko yaad karte hain kabhi unko yaad aate hain

Bigad kar tooti nindya se yun ajnabi ho jaate hain

Kabhi humko jagaate hain kabhi humko sulaate hain

Garam apni salahon par, woh yun taane sunaate hain

Kabhi woh dil jalaate hain kabhi hum ladkhadaate hain

Na maa-ash hai na zariya hai, hue kuch yun apahaj hain

Kabhi dhadkan thaherti hai kabhi woh maar jaate hain

Thaher ja zindagi ab toh ke ab hum chal nahin sakte

Kabhi hum ilteja karte kabhi woh daud jaate hain!
