‘Dost bhi raah ki deewar samajhte hain mujhe,

Main samajhta tha mere dost samajhte hain mujhe,

Main to yun chup hon k andar se bohat khali hon,

Aur sab log pur-israr samajhte hain mujhe,

Main badaltay huay halaat main dhal jata hon,

Dekhne walay adakaar samajhte hain mujhe,

Wo jo us paar hain un k liye is paar hon main,

Wo jo is paar hain us paar samajhte hain mujhe,

Naik logon mei muje naik gina jata hai,

Aur gunahgar gunahgar samjhte hain mujhe!’
