Meri samajh ke bahar hai, mere andar baitha wo shaksh,
Jo dikhayi to deta hai, par jaise hai woh khud gum.
Khud se hi begana, khud se hi anjaan,
Ek pehchaan ke dar se, chupaye apne armaan.

Aankhon mein sapne hain, par woh khauf se bhare,
Mann mein hai baatein, jo kabhi na zubaan pe dhare.
Har pal ki wo ladai, khud-se hi ladta,
Jis raste pe chalta, wahi raasta badalta.

Shakl se jaane pehchaana lagta,
Par andar kuch to chhupa sa lagta.
Kahi kho gaya hai, woh apne saaye mein,
Jaane kyun, apni hi parchhayi se darrta.

Waqt ki gehraayi mein apna astitva talash raha,
Har lamha apni pehchaan ko khud se jod raha.
Samajh se pare hai, yeh jhooth ya sach,
Jo mere andar hai, wo kaun hai yeh shakhs?

Dil ke andheron mein, uski parchaiyaan naachti,
Khud se begana, par khud ko hi taakti.
Ek ajeeb si khamoshi hai, jo uske andar basti,
Meri samajh ke bahar hai, yeh kaun si dastaan hai likhti?

Shayad kabhi usne khud se mulaqat ki hogi,
Par zindagi ke mod pe apni haqiqat chhodi hogi.
Samay ka qaid hai, jo usko baandh rakhta hai,
Meri samajh se bahar hai, wo shaksh jo mere andar basta hai.

Jaane kaun si duniya ka hai, wo musafir anjaan,
Samajh se bahar hai, wo hai ya sirf ek dhundhla armaan.
Andar baitha wo shaksh, ek paheli hai ya aakhri aawaz,
Mere khwabon ka karwan, ya ek guzarati chaandni raat ka raaz.
