Jhalakte hai un aankho mein maikhaane kai baar

Chhalakte hai un aankho se paimaane kai hazaar

Panapte hai un aankho mein aashiq beqarar

Khilte hai unhe dekh kar ye gulshan ye gul-e-gulzar

Daras ko un aankho k taras jaati hoon mein

Karti rehti hoon har dum buss un aankho ka intezar

Ab to na soch baaki hai na samajh baaki hai mujhme

Kar jo nahi sakti mein un aankho ka ikhtiyaar

Hothon par sajte rehte hai aksar kuch tanha tanha naghme

Un aankho k bina ab aata hai na chein aur na hi karaar

Aawaam mein zaya karti hoon mein soone se ye lamhe

Un aankho k bina nindiya bhi aane se karti hai inkaar

Kabhie meri khabar na mile to kehna unko, wo padhle zara akhbaar

Wo jo na mile to nikla hoga kahin meri maut ka bhi ishtihaar

Kaagaz par phir shabdo ki kuch lakirein hum khinch diye

Wo lakirein kiski k liye yaadon ki sarhad ban jayegi ye ehsaas na tha…

–

Mehsus kiya hai ik aisa bhi rishta

Jo naam se aage nikal gaya

Malum pada jab logo ko

Duniya ne usko kuchal diya

Wo rishta dheere dheere se duniya se ojhal hone lagaa

Dil mein to magar wo tabse hi naasur k jaise palne lagaa

Hamara ghaav unhe dard na de so ghaav hum andar hi dabaa liye

Wo ghaav hi phir hamare jeene ki wajah ban jaayega, ye ehsaas na tha…

–

Wo ghaav jo dabaa k rakkha tha

Hum marham uska bana liye

Phir halke halke malkar usko

Chaddar k taley hum chhupa liye

Wo marham dhire dhire se, chaddar me aise ghulne lagaa

Wo ghaav to akkhir roojh gaya, chaddar ka rang kuch udne lagaa

Gaur se usko dekha to phir, khud hi se hum mukar liye

Ek ghaav mitane wala marham, chaddar par daag sa ban jaayega ye ehsaas na tha…

–

Dil ka bojh halka karne hum kalam toh utha diye

Wahi kalam ka tez rukh kisike dil par katari ban jayega ye ehsaas na tha

Aapki yaad phir aati hai,

Par aane ke baad vo jaati to nahin

Kitna ye hamein rulaati hai,

Par aankho mein pani laati to nahin

Har kaam kuch kuch karte hain – kuch kuch nahin karte,

Ye dhadkan aapka naam bhulati jo nahin

Aap kya gaye hum to yu murjha gaye,

Koi bhi khushi dil ko behlati to nahin

Ye kya ho gaya hamein, kar baithe hum khud hi se dushmani,

Aapne kahin hamari raahein bhuladi to nahin

Thandi havaein jab chhoo jaati hai to lagta hai,

Kahin yaado ki aag phir jaladi to nahin

Idhar udhar dekh kar phir sochte hai,

Kahin kisine hamari kismat churali to nahin

Phir sochte hai sab kuch khuda pe chhod de,
Phir lagta hai kahin usse bhi hamari ye haalat ganvaari to nahin!

Phir sochte hai sab kuch khuda pe chhod de,
Phir lagta hai kahin ussey bhi hamari ye haalat ganvaari to nahin!
