yeh insaan hai andheron ka, roshni se draa draa rehta hai

baadal ki unchaaiyon ke kareeb kahi chaand chupa baitha hai,
zameen ki gehraaiyon mein door kaheeni insaan chupa baitha hai,
apne chehre par samaaj-numa nakaab dale huye,
sehma-sehma sa lagta hai bahar kaise nikle, 

badla badla sa lagta hai.

yeh insaan hai andheron ka, roshni se draa draa rehta hai,
kaan to hai.. phir bhi behra hai, aankh to hai.. phir bhi andha hai,

apne ird-gird faile samaaj ke daayre ko tordna chaahta hai,
apne raaste, apni haqeekat se jordna chaahta hai,
haath aur pair salaamat hain, phir bhi apaahiz hai,
apne dil ki aawaaz sunta nahi hai, woh hi kerta hai jo jamaana kehta hai
iss duniya mein shaamil ho ker bhi woh jraa jraa rehta hai.

yeh insaan hai andheron ka, roshni se draa draa rehta hai,
jaane kabse apni aazaadi ki aas lagaaye baitha hai,
koi aaker saath dega yeh kayaash lagaaye baithaa hai,
rota hai akser, magar hansta bhi hai kabhi kabhi.

kabhi apne haal par kabhi apne sawaal par hairaan ho jaata hai,
badaa hi bechaara hai yeh insaan jo,
door kahi jameen ki gehraaiyon mein chupa baitha hai,
sab kuch paas hoker bhi kuch admarra sa rehta hai ,
yeh insaan hai andheron ka, roshni se draa draa rehta hai.
