Humne toh chalaaye thye, sab teer nishaane pe

Humne toh chalaaye thye, sab teer nishaane pe

Kuch chook gaye phir bhi, manzil tak jaane mein

Qismet mein musaaphir ke, nahi kal ki subah shayad

Dekh kaanp rahi kashti, saahil tak jaane mein

Shaayar ke nasihat mein, hain baat badi gehri

Bhagwaan toh hain rastey, mandir tak jaane mein

Iss qaid se azaadi, badi der se aayi hain

Mere paon padenge kum, subah tak jaane mein

Hum jaan ke bhi sab kuch, kuch maan nahi paatey

Bas soch ki duuri hain, maksad tak jaane mein

Na jaane ki ub shehron, mein kaise tajurbey hain

Koi khoof nahi khata, jungle tak jaane mein

Magroor  badal deta, hain wazood  hi jhatke se

Bade khwaab sajata hain dariyaa, saagar tak jaane mein

Aagosh mein hi aandhi ke, Deepak ko jalayenge

Koi rok nahi sakta humko apni, hasti tak jaane mein

Yeh dili ehsaas hain mere, main fankaar nahi

Yeh dili ehsaas hain mere, main fankaar nahi

Aap beeti hi sunata hu, main kalaakaar nahi

Mera insaaf kar, mujhko suuli na chadhaa

Main nadaan sahi lekin gunehgaar nahi

Lootkar logo ko, odh lete hain sharifo ka naqaab

Yeh wo sikkey hain jinhe chalne ka adhikaar nahi

Wo apne sapno ki zidd mein rehta hain faaka

Ghar mein anaaj ke daano ka jimmedaar nahi

Paed ghabrane lagey dekh  khud khushi ka mizaaz

Sukhe kheto ko baarish ka aasaar nahi

Humko haasil jo hua hain, mehnat se hua hain

Apni hasti mein kismet ka kirdaar nahi

Kisi matlab ke liye, dilbar bhi saath deta hain

Teri duniya mein khuda koi wafadaar nahi

Neend jub khawab taalati hogi

Neend jub khawab taalati hogi

Kiski baahein sambhaalti hogi

 raakh ke dher mein jaakar

hawa chingaariyaan daalati hogi

Phool sa chehra, annkhein patthar si

Zakhm koun koun se paalti hogi

Miley kadmo ko roshni ka safar

Raat bhar  jugnu uchaalti hogi

Bheegey mousam mein sukhi nazro se

Geeley rastey khangaalti hogi

Aaj phir duur tak udaasi hain

Raat koi gham nikaalti hogi

Koun manega meri aankhon mein jalta hain paani

Tej kadmo se doudhta rehta hain, chalta hain paani
Koun manega meri aankhon mein jalta hain paani

Yeh kiske jikr se aaya hain sehraa main sailaab

Aaj meri aankhon mein nahi behelta hain paani

Koun sa dard hain, ki zara zara si baaton mein
Aankhon se subah shaam nikalta hain paani

Khara pan odhkar palko se utarta hain hurdum

Jaane koun se talaab mein palta hain paani

Sabr ka baandh liye, halaato se ladta hain magar

yaadon ke panno pe aksar pigalta hain paani

Palko pe aa jaaye toh shor nahi karne paaye

Dard  kitna bhi ho khamosh nigalta hain paani

Kuch toh hoga dhoka sa meri aankhon mein “Deepak”
Log kehtey hain ki bewajah hi nikalta hain paani

Zakhmo pe khawab marham, lagaane ko machal raha

umeedo ko lekar aaj phir din hain dhal raha

Zakhmo pe khawab marham, lagaane ko machal raha

chaand badalo mein chupane lagi hai raat

Armaan koi mehboob ke khande pe pal raha

hans deta hain mujhko dekh kar raho mein aaj kal
lagta hai akhir kaar wo pathar pighal raha

na jaane abki baar kya mansubey hain paani ke

kehte hain log sham se dariyaa uchal raha

majhdhaar mein mila toh daraaya bahut magar
saahil pe aate aate samandar badal raha

Wo bhi yeh jaanta hain, ki main jaanta hu sab

bachtey bachaatey mujhse, Galiyon mein chal raha

chehre pe uske jhuuti hasi ka naqaab hain
na jane hans ke koun sa woh gham nigal raha

teri chamak ke badle usey chaand mil gaya
“Deepak” tu intezaar mein bekaar jal raha

Raat jaag kar yaadon mein, needo ko gawaya tha

Kuch yaad nahi aata kabhi tujhko bataya tha

Raat jaag kar yaadon mein, needo ko gawaya tha

Qaatil ki nigaahon mein, maqsad ki safayee thi

Phir raat ko shamma ne parwana jalaaya tha

Ek leher ki hadh tak hi,  tha khel nahi jaana

Jub ret ke mehlo mein khawabo ko sajaaya tha

Woh humse mohabatt ka ijhaar nahi karte

Par humko  kasam dekar iqraar karaaya tha

Kuch ishq ki marzi thi, kuch raah mein kaantein tey

Paidal ke musaaphir ne jub haar kamaaya tha

Aayegi zamaane ki baadal pe keher aakhir

Jugnu ki mohabatt mein kal chand chupaaya tha

Koi aag sulagti hain seene mein humesha se

Shabnam ne na  jaane koun sa, angaara bhujaya tha

Andhero ke fat_tey hi, ghar  roshni ayee  hain

Kya jaane yahan  “Deepak”  kisne jalaaya tha
