Dil min phool khilte the, jaltarang bajte the.
Zindagi mehkti thi, khuwab rang sajte the.
Sahil samandar par koi sath chalta tha !
Khushbuen nahata tha, chaandni min jalta tha.
Gili gili tehreeren rait par ubharti thin .
Door kuch parindon ki toliyan guzarti thin.
Hamsafar bhi apna tha, raaste bhi apne the.
Bheegi bheegi ankhon min kuch haseen sapne the.
Hum ne jo basaya tha, dil nagar adhura he.
Kia khabar thi qurbat ka ye safar adhura he.
Aaine ki bahon min, dard ki panahon min.
Dil zada musafir he be nishan raahon min.
Dubta hoa suraj rait ka gharunda he.
Sham k dhund lake min phir koi akela he.
Arsa tamanna min, dharkanon ki dunya min.
Khawahishon k jungle min, tashnagi k sehra min.
ZINDAGI AKELI HE APNE BAAL BIKHRAE.
ZINDAGI BHATAKTI HE KHALI HATH PHELAE.
Zindagi mehkti thi, khuwab rang sajte the.
