Path Within Lyrics

Zindagi ke mod pe, socha kya galti thi

Aks mere samne, lekin woh bhi ulti thi

Dhoondha khud ko jahaan, sab kehlaaya ghalat

Main likhta raha raatein, woh kehte the fazool baat

Kaise samjhaun, jo dekha hai maine

Kaise batlau, jo saha hai maine

Chhoti si umr, bade bade sapne

Lekin yeh jahaan tha kabhi apne sapne?

Doston ne chod diya, rishte bhi fade

Har kone mein milti sirf dukhi si shade

Lafz banaye, par sunta kaun yahaan

Maine raat se poocha, kyun roshni thak gaye?

Yeh zindagi ka khel, har pal mein twist hai

Dil ke shor ko dabata, bas meri list hai

Apne waade todke chale gaye saare

Ab akela hoon, lekin andar se sawaare

Khauf tha kal ka, lekin ab samajh gaya

Jala diya sabko, ab khud ke paas aaya

Woh poochte hain, "kyun itna alag?"

Maine khud se kaha, "zakhm sab banate kalak"

Raat ka safar hai, subah ka intezaar

Dil ka dard, likhne laga hai sansaar

Mera art mera haath, mera qalam

Inhi lines ke beech milta mujhe alam

Yeh safar hai, yeh jeena meri baat hai

Zakhm toh ghane hain, lekin ab adat hai

Mitti se nikla hoon, taare chhoo loonga

...... ki tarah, apni baat chhod jaoonga
