Khwaaish (Desire)

Ek dauṛ(race) hai kuchh paane ki, 
Kya chahiye pata nahi

Dusron ke aansuon pe, 
khushiyaan sabhi buni gayee

Phir bhi udaas hai ye dil, 
ghutan hai aur bechain man

Kabhi iss taraf, kabhi us taraf, 
hai daur thak gaya ye tan

Thukra diya jo paas tha, 
kuchh aur aur pane ko

Ab phans gaya bhanvar mein yun, 
nahi chhor koi jaane ko

Aye zindegi tu hin bata, 
kyun na-samajh itna hai dil

Ki kuchh aur paane ke liye, 
sab kuchh lutata jata hai,

Aur thak kar phir jo bhi mile, 
usme jhoothe muskurata hai

Zindegi ne kuchh soch kar, 
dheere se phir mujhse kaha,

Tu chahaton ko chhod de, 
aur dekh sab kuchh hai tera

Tu khwaishon ke dhund se, 
nikal ke saath chal zara

Hai Zindegi ye khushnuma, 
hai Zindegi ye khusnuma...
