rota hai...gidgidaata hai...
shikwa...gilah...shikayat..jhunjhulata hai...

khud hi ko panah deta hai...
khud hi ko fir samjhaata hai...

ki kuch toh hoga haseen tere mukkadar mein...
kahi toh kinara hoga is bebab samandar mein...

maayoosi ki geheri dhundh ghere rahati hai...
naa-umeedi roz naye chehere leti hai...


.......kuch toh hoga haseen tere mukkadar mein...

???

dhoondh rahi hoon... wajood mera...is zindagi ke maayino mein...
dhundhla...beshakal sa ho gaya hai....shayad
khud ko kush dekhne ki aarzoo ke aayino mein...

jee rahe hai...yah kahin jal gaye...
na koi aarzoo...na koi kashish baaki...
koyi naya savera nahin...sab dhal gaye...
dard ka hone ka ehsaas nahin...na koi khalish baaki...
