Kabhi dekha tha ek spna vo sapna hi reh gya,
Mila tha ek apna vo anjana reh gya,
Aansuon se likhi thi ek kahani, jo kabhi,
Un kahaniyon ka ek afsaana bann gya.
Aankhon se jhaakti ek baat, jo kabhi hooton pe nahi aai hai,
Kabhi aansu bankar kabhi, kabhi aahein bankar iss dil main samai hai,
Kabhi toote jo pankh un jazbaaton ke,
Na jaane kyon ye aankh bhar aai hai.
Umeed ke diye se jo kabhi ek roshni si aai thi,
Kabhi socha na tha tere bina zindigi itni tanha thi,
Kyon karte hai log pyar kisi se itna, ye hamesha khud se hi puchte rehte hai ab to,
Par unn roshniyon ke baad bhi zindigi kewal andheron ki ek gehrai thi.
