a.ntar ma.ntar ja.ntar se maidaan liyaa hai maar
haath me.n hai taqadiir kaa nak{}shaa ho gayaa be.Daa paar
a.ntar ma.ntar ja.ntar ...

jab aayaa daravaazaa pahalaa hamane use dhakelaa
khulate hii daravaazaa dekhaa ujiyaaro.n kaa melaa
raste me.n ik burzii dekhii dhokhaa dekhe vaalii
us burzii ke paas ga_e to saamane dekhii jaalii
chho.D ke burzii ba.Dhe aage ham bhii the hushiyaar
a.ntar ma.ntar ja.ntar ...

jab duujaa daravaazaa aayaa us par dekhaa taalaa
akl kii chaabii lagaa ke hamane maze se kholaa taalaa
phir dekhe chaubaare jin par thaa a.Ndhiyaaraa
duur kahii.n par khi.Dakii chamakii jyuu.N badalii me.n taaraa
aashaa_o.n ke diip jalaa_e ham bhii ho ga_e paar
haath me.n hai taqadiir ...

gairo.n ke mahal me.n pahu.Nche bhed churaakar laa_e
sab daravaaze chor bane the choro.n se Takaraa_e
chakkar ne sau chakkar Daale phir bhii naa ghabaraa_e
jaise chal kar ham pahu.Nche the vaise vaapas aa_e
apanii ma.nzil jiit ke aa_e naa maane ham haar
haath me.n hai taqadiir ...
