meri daastan to kisi ne suni nahi

mujhe zindagi se gilla raha,
meri zindagi se banni nahi,
main khud hoon aise makam par,
jaha hasraton ki kami nahi,

main jala bhi hoon,
main bujha bhi hoon,
main sazaa bhi hoon,
main kta bhi hoon.

mujhe dekh kar hasse hain log,
par meri zindagi mein hassi nahi,
kabhi iss gali kabhi uss gali,
kabhi iss nagar kabhi uss nagar,

main bhatak raha hoon dar-ba-dar,
mere dard-o-dil ki kami nahi,
hai be-khabar mera humsafar,
main mitt gaya usse kya khabar,

na pahunchi ho meri sadaa,
yahan aise to koi galli nahi,
haalaat kuch iss kadar phir gaye,
hum apni hi nazar mein gir gaye
kahi sabne apni hi daastan,
meri daastan to kisi ne suni nahi.
