Khwahishon ki Naav

Zindagi k safar mein lehro se na darna,
Tutenge hosle yaha kai dafa,
apne irado pe shaq tum kabhi na karna – “Khwahishon ki Naav”

Chaar pal ki hai yeh saase,
fir bhi dekho gumaan itna,
hasna bhul chuke hai hum yaha,
fir bhi dekho lihaaz (Respect) kitna.

Bachpan mein ek baat sikhi thi,
aa rahi hai woh ab kaam,
dilse na lagana kisi cheez ko,
dilke irade toh hue hai nakaam.

Girti boonde jaise sawal kai puche,
jawab ka dariya maano mila hi nahi,
yuh toh hum rehte hai ek sheher mein,
sheher aisa jisme ek kinara bhi nahi.

Aahat sunn utha karte the jo,
aaj unki yaad sone nahi deti,
itne bhi kya dur aagae hum ghar se,
lautne ki fariyaad ab rone nahi deti.

Tinka dar tinka waqt guzarta hai yaha,
udas chehre dekh maan machalta hai yaha,
ab na lautenge is gehre samundar se,
khwahishon ki naav ko paar lagana hai yaha.
