aag ho to jalane me.n der kitanii lagatii hai

aag ho to jalane me.n der kitanii lagatii hai
barf ke pighalane me.n der kitanii lagatii hai

chaahe ko_ii ruk jaaye chaahe ko_ii rah jaaye
qaafilo.n ko chalane me.n der kitanii lagatii hai

chaahe ko_ii jaisaa bhii ham-safar ho sadiyo.n se
raastaa badalane me.n der kitanii lagatii hai

mom kaa badan lekar dhuup me.n nikal aanaa
aur phir pighalane me.n der kitanii lagatii hai

soch kii zamiino.n me.n raaste judaa ho.n to
duur jaa nikalane me.n der kitanii lagatii hai
