Ik zara si ranjish se Khawab toot jatay hain

Ik zara si ranjish se Khawab toot jatay hain
bheer mein zamanay ki haath chooth jatay hain
dost daar lehjay mein silwatein si parti hain
ik zara si ranjish se shak ki zard tehni per

phool badgumani k is tarha se khiltay hain
zindagi se pyaray bhi ajnabi se lagtay hain
ghair ban k miltay hain
umer bhar ki chahat ko, aasra nahi milta

khaamoshi k waqfon mein, baat toot jati hai
aur sira nahi milta
maazrat k lafzon ko, roshni nahi milti
lazzat e pazeerai bhi, phir kabhi nahi milti

phool rang waadon k, khawab toot jatay hain
manzilein sukarti hain, raah murnay lagti hai
be rukhi k gaaray se, be dili ki mitti se
faaslon ki eenton se, eent jurnay lagti hai

khaak urnay lagti hai
khawab toot jatay hain, waahmon k saaey se
umer bhar ki mehnat ko, pal mein loot jatay hain
ik zara si ranjish se saath toot jatay hain …….
