quatl hone ko

khade, dar pe tere bahut mastane rehte hain
hum sada tere khayal mein khoye rehte hain

fana hone wale koi tere woh mastane nahi hain
jal kar raakh to hum jaise parwane hote hain

keh kar sangdil kyon woh tohmatein dete hain
deewane hain hum, bas diwanagi karte hain

na lagaa koi nishan, hum deewane dekhte hain
tere sehar hone tak, hum marte rehte hain

quatl hone ko kuch logg zindagi kehte hain
hum aawara hain, awaragi mein jeete hain

roko na koi ab, ki woh phir chal dete hain
zakhm bahut, par marham kum hi dete hain

kar kar dillagi hum, jaafa se tauba karte hain
na kar wafa hum se, awaara kahan rukte hain

bahut kar chuka Kapil yahan tujh se wafa
ab banjara ban koi aur makaan dhoondate hain
