Khwaab

Kabhi kabhi dukh is baat ka bhi hota hai

ki ab tumhari yaad palkon par koi harkat nahi karti

kya ab tumhare na hone ki aadat padne lagi hai

ya shayad ab palkein bhi thak gayi hain

shayad paani sookh gaya hai

kabhi kabhi dard is baat ka bhi hota hai

ki un palon ki soch ab chehre par muskaan nahi laati

kya ab un palon ki ehmiyat hi kam ho gayi hai

ya shayad ab woh sirf ek bhula bisra khwab ban ke reh gaye hain

jiski haqiqat hi ek dhundli si tasveer ki tarah hai

jispar kone mein rakhe rakhe dhool ki parat chadh gayi hai

kabhi kabhi vyathit is baat se bhi hota hun

ki kya kucch aur palon ki meri guhaar galat thi

kya thode se chain ki ummeed bhi najayaz thi

kya tumhe paane ki chahat hi bebuniyaad thi

jawaab sirf tum hi de sakte the, mujhe mila nahi

tumhe dosh dene ki bohot koshish ki maine

tumse nafrat karne ki, tumhe bhool jaane ki bhi koshish ki

but mujhse ho na saka

main khud ko bhi bhoolne laga

tumhare bina shayad main ab kisi kaam ka nahi raha...
