dekh kisi ki chahat main
aksar seeham sa jaata hun
yun dekh kuch chehro ko
na jane kyun aaj bhi tham sa jaata hun
hai aaj bhi seene mein khawish
ki ek bar toh woh thame in hatho ko
jo ruke gaye hain yeh lahu in ragon mein
unhe ek baar toh khul ke behne do
bus ek khawab ki tarah hai yeh
kuch lamhe mein he tooth jaati hai
kya kahe kitni kush-naseeb hai yeh hawa
jo aksar unke saaso mein utar jaati hai
woh barsaat ka paani
jo unke galoo se guzar kar, laboo mein sama jaata hai
woh saaya unka
jo har lamha unse jooda rehta hai
soach aksar in cheezo ko
main khud main he kush ho leta hun
jo na mile kabhi woh humse
toh in cheezo mein he unhe khoj leta hun
woh hawa jo aksar kaano mein keh jaati hai
woh aaj bhi tujh se nafrat karti hai
muskura kar bus yahi kehta hun
"shayad isliye aaj bhi tu uski hefazat karti hai"
woh baarish ka paani aksar kuch yaad dilata hai
toh kabhi hatho mein gir kar, kisi ka chehra ban jaata hai
dekh woh mujhe, mujhpe hasta hai
jaise kahe ki tu aaj bhi kyun uske liye roota hai
yeh saaya he bus mere sath rehta hai
rakh khande par hath kahe, tu kyun itna sehta hai
kya kehta use, jab mera saaya ho kar bhi
jab na jaan paaya ki usme toh mera khuda basta hai..............
