aaj achanak jo itni muskarahat hai chehre par
kaun sa gam hia jise hum chipaye firte hain
aaj itna damak raha hai jo chehra hamara
to kis dukh ki shwet parchai padi hai chehre par?
aankhon se agar naye ujaale chalak pade hain
toh kin amulya hazaaron aansuon ko dabaye hain hum?
honth agar khushi se jhoom kar gaa rahe hain
toh kitne khamosh ahsaas andar hi sammaye hain hum?
mujhe ae zindagi hai tujh se ye malaal
ki jab bhi maine tujhse poocha koi sawaal
ya hans kar ya baaton baaton mein hamesha taal gayi tu mujhe
kya faayda hua fir haale dil sunane ka tujhe?
ik baar hi sahi mere bhi nasheman par nazar daalti
sab ke na sahi kuch sawaalon ke hi jawaab de daalti
ye tere sawaal ab aur bardaasht nahi hote
kahin dhundne par sab milenge tujhe
ye kyu kehti hai tu ki aise sawaalon ke jawaab nahi hote
