zindagi ke shor, raajnneeti kee apadhapi
rishte-naaton kee galiyon aur kya khoyaa, kya paayaa ke bazaaron se aage
soch ke raaste par kaheen ek aisa nukkad aathaa hai
jahaan pahunch kar insaan ekaaki ho jaataa hai

tab jaag uthta hai kavi
phir shabdon ke rangon se jeevan kee anokhi tasviren banati hain
kavitaayen aur geet sapanon kee tarah aathe hain
aur kaagaz par hamesha ke liye apanae ghar bana lete hain

Atal jee kee ye kavitaayen aise hee pal, aise hee kshanon mein likhi gayi hain

duniyaa kee saaree dhadakanen simat kar ek dil mein aa jaatee hain
aur kavi ke shabd duniyaa ke har samvedansheel insaan ke shabd ban jaathe hain

kya khoyaa, kya paayaa jag mein
milte aur bichhadte mag mein
kya khoyaa, kya paayaa jag mein
milte aur bichhadte mag mein
muje kisi se nahin shikaayat
yadhyapi chalaa gaya pag-pag mein

ek drushti beetee par daalen
yaadon kee potli tatolen
ek drushti beetee par daalen
yaadon kee potli tatolen

apanae hee man se kuch bolen
apanae hee man se kuch bolen

prithvi lakhon varsh puraanee
jeevan ek anant kahaani
prithvi lakhon varsh puraanee
jeevan ek anant kahaani
par tan kee apanee seemayen
yadhyapi sau sardon kee vaani

itana kaafee hai antim dastak par
khud daravaaza kholen
itana kaafee hai antim dastak par
khud daravaaza kholen

apanae hee man se kuch bolen
apanae hee man se kuch bolen

janm-maran ka avirat pheraa
jeevan banjaaron ka deraa
janm-maran ka avirat pheraa
jeevan banjaaron ka deraa
aaj yahaan, kal kahaan kooch hai
kaun jaanata kidhar savera

andhiyaara, akaash aseemit
praanon ke pankhons ko tole
andhiyaara, akaash aseemit
praanon ke pankhons ko tole

apanae hee man se kuch bolen
apanae hee man se kuch bolen

apanae hee man se kuch bolen
apanae hee man se kuch bolen
