Ateet ke panne

hota hai kabhi kabhi aisa bhi zindagi me,
kehna to chaahte hain par keh nahi paate,

dil me kuch yun toofaan uthta hai kabhi,
bin kahe bhi hum tab reh nahi paate,

dil ki wo bechaini kabhi had se guzar jaati hai,
dard itna badh jaata hai ki hum seh nahi paate,

na to kuch kehte hain, na chup reh paate hain,
waqt ki paheliyaan hum suljha hi nahi paate,

ateet ke kuch panne yun saamne khul jaate hain,
khamosh hote huye bhi hum khaamosh nahi reh paate...
