Ravana

na hi khabar manzil ki
Na ghar ka koi thikana,
na raston ki koyi samajh
na hume jaane ye zamana,
apni baandh gathrhi umeedon ki,
safar-e-zindagi par hum ho chale ravana.

Akele aaye the,
akele hi hai jana,
teer ki disha pakde,
humne ab laut na kabhi ana.
Raahgir milte hain dost nahi,
kuch safar jo kismat me likha,
saath milta hai, saathi nahi,
hume na raahgiro mein koi apna dikha.
Taluk bhi hum rakhna nahi chahte,
In aate jaate hava ke jhokon se,
kis cheez ka nishan hain inme,
jo hum talashen in logon me?

Gum bhi humein nahi koi,
chaahe khushi ki bhi na koi aas hai,
nazar tikki guzarti duniya par,
bus ek yaad jo paas hai.
Kitne suraj doobe, kitne chaand chadhe,
humare paas na koi hisaab hai,
gaadi ke pahio ki kaalis se,
roz ek panna bhar dete hain, is zindagi ki jo kitaab hai.

Koi desh hamara nahi,
koi mulk paraya nahi,
kuch na khone ke liye,
kuch bhi humne paya nahi,
Dastaan hai safar,
aur kuch bhi na humein dikhana,
sang ashayen leke,
hum ho chale ravana.
