Khud se bhaaga toh duniya mili Duniya se thaka toh khud tak aaya Sheeshe mein chehra mera hi tha Par aankhon mein kaun nazar aaya? Main... kaun hoon...? Raat ne poocha, tera ghar kahaan? Maine dil ki taraf bas haath kiya Naam toh duniya ne mujhko diya Par maine khud ko kya naam diya? Kabhi khwaabon ka musafir bana Kabhi yaadon ka ek qaidi raha Har manzil ko apna samajhta raha Har manzil ke baad bhi khaali raha Jo kal tha, woh aaj kahaan hai? Jo aaj hoon, kya kal bhi rahunga? Main waqt ke saath badalta chehra Ya waqt ko guzarta dekhta rahunga? Har yakeen ke peeche gumaan mila Har ujaale mein saaya mila Jab duniya ka shor hua khamosh Mujhe khud mein ek raasta mila Jo chhoot gaya, kya mera tha? Jo reh gaya... woh kya tha? Main kaun hoon? Na chehra... na naam Har rang waqt le jaaye Kuch phir bhi rahe be-naam Main kaun hoon? Na jeet... na haar Main boond bhi, samandar bhi Main khud apna sansaar Oh... main kaun hoon? Main... kaun hoon...? Maine waqt ki kalai pe badalte nishaan dekhe Ek hi dil mein maine sau-sau jahaan dekhe Khushi do pal thehri, phir raah badal gayi Gham ki bhi ek shaam thi, woh bhi nikal gayi Kabhi dil ek dariya, kabhi registan Kabhi khud se mohabbat, kabhi khud se anjaan Main har ek khayaal ko haqeeqat maanta raha Khayaal guzra toh reh gaya khaali makaan Gusse ki ek lehar uthi, phir khud hi tham gayi Dard ki ek raat thi, subah hote dhal gayi Jo badalti rahi, woh meri haalat thi Kuch andar tha jo har haal mein wahi raha Har manzar badalta hi raha... Nazar magar wahi thi Har awaaz aayi, har awaaz gayi Aur jab sab tham gaya... Khamoshi wahi thi Main kaun hoon? Na chehra... na naam Har rang waqt le jaaye Kuch phir bhi rahe be-naam Main kaun hoon? Na jeet... na haar Main boond bhi, samandar bhi Main khud apna sansaar Main... kaun hoon...? Har patte ki apni simt Har nadi ki apni chaal Kisi ka safar hai seedha Kisi ka har mod sawaal Phir kyun kisi aur ke naqsh-e-kadam pe chalun Jab meri mitti mein chhupa mera apna kamaal? Har rang ko kisi aur rang sa kyun hona? Har dhun ko kisi aur sur sa kyun hona? Jo apni fitrat mein poora khile Usko kisi aur ke jaisa kyun hona? Main duniya ko padhne nikla tha Har safhe ne mujhko padh liya Jitna raaston ko samajhta gaya Utna khud ka ek raaz khul gaya Jo zakhm kabhi sirf dard lage Wahin se roshni aati rahi Jo baat zubaan tak aa na saki Woh aankhon mein likhti rahi Na har ehsaas ko lafz mile Na har raaz ka naam Kuch lamhe bas dil mein utare Aur reh gaye... be-naam Har rang mujh mein aata hai Har rang mujhse jaata hai Main lehron ka shor nahi Shor uthta hai... tham jaata hai Main lafzon mein poora aa na sakoon Khamoshi mein khud ko sunta hoon Jis raaz ko lafzon mein dhoondha Woh dheere-dheere khulta raha Chehra badla, naam badla Khwaab badle, armaan badle Raaste badle, mausam badle Main bhi har din badalta raha Magar kuch tha jo saath raha Na uska chehra, na uska naam Bas ek ehsaas... Jo dhal na saka Main waqt se guzarta raha? Ya waqt... Mujhse guzarta raha? Main kaun hoon? Na chehra... na naam Har rang waqt le jaaye Kuch phir bhi rahe be-naam Main kaun hoon? Na jeet... na haar Main boond bhi, samandar bhi Main khud apna sansaar Har manzar badalta hi raha... Nazar magar wahi thi Chehre badle, mausam badle Main bhi har pal badalta raha Sab kuch guzarta hi gaya Kuch phir bhi... wahi raha Kuch tha jo lafzon mein na aaya Main... kaun hoon...? Kuch tha jo waqt bhi le na paaya Main boond bhi... Samandar bhi... Main khud... Apna sansaar... Jise door samajh kar dhoondta raha Woh khamoshi mein paas mila Jitni door raahon mein chalta gaya Utni qareeb apni sadaa mili Aaina chup tha... Main bhi chup... Main... kaun hoon...? Main... kaun hoon...?
