sawaal

uski maasoom nigaahon mein ek sawaal tha,

kya mujhe apne sang le jaogey us paar..

jaise chaand le jaata hai chaandni apne sang

jaise door chamakte taarey roshni apne sang..

baarish ke baad ki hawa mein jaise

mitti ki kushboo chalti hai har pal..

aur chalti hai nisha phoolon ki kushboo samete huey

jheenguron ke shor ke sannatey ki dewwar ko giraati..

uski maasoom nigaahon ne poocha

kya le chalogey mujhe apne sang...

jaise baadlon ko uda le jaati hai pawan

kisi anjaan aakaash ke kinaarey pe...

humesha humesha ke liye....

aur main tha..bas khamosh

joojhta kai sawaalon se

ladta apne andar ki ladai..is duniya se

ki har koshish karta dilodimag se

ki uski aankhon ka har sapna poora kar sakun is khuli aankhon se..

paarth

jo nahi bantaa kabhi wohi ban gaya hun main

jo nahi sochna tha wohi sochta hun main

apne aap hi apne jahen mein ladta khud se

ek bhavnao ki deewaar ko todta hun main

rukta hun kabhi apne hi khoon ko behta dekh kar

neer saa hi samjhne laga hun main

ki ab mol nahi rakhte aansun kisi ke mere liye

aansuon ko sadiyon se peeta raha hun main

hazaar koshishen ki zamaane ne mujhe todne ki

ki har baar zaraaey se khud ko jodta hun main.

Har feeki hoti muskaan ko firse jagata hun

Na jane kaun si mazil ko dhoondta hun main

Toot jata hai har rishta jhooth ka ek din

Ki toote huey rishton ko jodne laga hun main

Maayoos aankhon ko jeena sikha raha hun

Apne liye jeena hi bhool gaya hun main

Apno se mili Jhooti ummeedon ko toot-te dekha hai

Begaano se apno k sapno ki roshni deta hun main.

Bahut roka usne kisi ko jeena seekhne se

Uski raah ke pattharon ko hata raha hun main.

Fir se khatam ho gam ki nisha ka pahar

Har bujhte diye to khud se jala raha hun main

Nahi khatam ho sakta savera hone se pahle

waqt ki talwaar pe khud ko chala raha hun main.
