Ek Guzaris

 Kya-kya nahi kiya un Ankhon ne,

                                   Is Dil me samaane ko,

Woh masoom chehra, Zhuki Palke thi,

                                  Saamne mere man ko bahlane ko,

Khush woh bhi the aur hum bhi,

                                  Waqt hi nahi tha khud ko samzane ko,

Ankhon me isaara aur dil me basera hota tha,

                                    Zarurat hi nahi hoti thi batlane ko,

Uski khati udaan bharta hi gaya,

                                   Aur yaad nahi kar paya apne hi afsane ko,

Dur se hi parkha, yad kiya, dil me rakha use,

                                   Bas koshish hi nahi ki paas jane ko,

Jab kiya Mohabt ka Elan tabse unhone,

                                   Soch liya humse sarmane ko,

Guzaris ki hamne is Dil ki khatir, to Kuch kaha nahi,

                                    Bas ye Jivan hi mang liya hame Aazmane ko

Kisi ki mohbat me dube is tarah yaro,

                                   Waqt ka khayal hi nahi raha is Parwane ko,

Samaa koi do-char  to thi nahi,

                                  Yu hi waqt guzar gaya Ek ko manane ko,

Baris aesi aai ki thamne ka nam nahi leti,

                                 Aur rat se subah ho gai ek dil Aag jalane ko,

Zindagi ke safar itna thaka hu kya kahu,

                                  Ab himmat hi nahi hoti use awaz lagane ko,

Rishto ka matlab samzha kar un aankhon ne bas,

                                Yu hi chhod diya aakhir kisi aur ko hath thamane ko,

Khud bhi to ziyenge bekhudi me kisi ki,

                                 Aur bhul gaye in aankhon ko Tarsaane ko.
